"You're talking nonsense."

Even though Hu Mingli had been exposed to the dark side of things and knew the dangers of the human heart, he still found it difficult to accept that everything they were currently suffering was sanctioned by His Majesty, as he heard from Feng Li.

Why?

Hu Mingli subconsciously felt that Feng Li was deliberately deceiving him.

"What would I gain from lying to you?" Feng Li chuckled at Hu Mingli's suspicious gaze.

She sneered and said, "I'm not joking about this. I'm serious. Besides, what would I gain from lying to you?

Why were the Zerg able to sneak behind you and attack Qilan Star? Are you still deceiving yourself?"

"Besides, even if you're blind and the Zerg got lucky, do you know where that wormhole leads? As far as I know, the other end of that wormhole isn't located within Zerg territory.

It's not in the Zerg's usual range of activity. How do you think the Zerg discovered its existence? It was leaked by the Imperial Family."

"Don't try to sow discord. Even though we're not enemies right now, it doesn't mean everything you say is trustworthy."

For one thing, Feng Li was the type of woman who liked to lie; two out of every three sentences were riddles. If she was in a good mood, she would tell you directly, but if she was in a bad mood, you could guess until you died and still not figure it out.

The Sixth Legion had been stationed outside the extraterrestrial sea, and he himself had once directly attacked her territory. It was possible that she wanted to drive a wedge between him and the Empire.

Maybe Hu Mingli didn't believe it this time, but what about next time?

If Feng Li kept doing this, Hu Mingli couldn't guarantee that he would always firmly trust His Majesty and the Empire.

Besides, what reason would His Majesty have to tell the Zerg this kind of information?

His own younger brother had died in battle. In addition to that, the Empire had accumulated countless blood debts with the Zerg over the years!

How could His Majesty collude with the Zerg?

"Are you trying to say that His Majesty has long disliked our Hu family and wants to take this opportunity to kill us off?"

This old trope of a meritorious subject overshadowing the monarch shouldn't be used at this time, right?

"If that were the case, he should have just set a trap for me and let me die in it. Why involve innocent people?!"

Hu Mingli's voice rose, and the movements of the busy people behind him suddenly paused.

Hu Mingli turned his head, and the crowd behind him busied themselves again.

However, Hu Mingli's words just now left some people feeling uneasy.

"Dulen, does His Majesty dislike us?"

Some people couldn't keep things to themselves and asked Hu Mingli's adjutant, Dulen.

"We're not money, why would His Majesty like us?" Dulen didn't answer directly, but his disdainful expression clearly showed that he didn't like His Majesty either.

"Say less!" Rui'an walked over and glared at her younger brother, whose words were a bit harsh, then looked up at Hu Mingli's direction, ending everything with a single sentence.

"We just need to help the Lieutenant General achieve whatever he wants to do."

……

Unaware of what his loyal subordinates were saying, the more Hu Mingli thought about it, the more he felt that what Feng Li had said was simply a fantasy.

As the leader of the Empire, how could His Majesty the Emperor collude with the Zerg?

It was obviously impossible!

Feng Li knew the reasons for Hu Mingli's denial.

But that was before she learned about what Mei Shi and Ming Yi had told her.

Feng Li looked at Hu Mingli, who had gone from being exasperated to calm and composed, with an air of smugness that seemed to see through her. She finally sighed and slowly said, "How about this, I'll tell you a story…"

Guangyu Star Region,

"Woah, you can't just say things like that. Chi Yu's tipsy feeling from the two bottles of wine had been completely swept away by Tianma's last few words.

In fact, he was almost scared out of his wits by Tianma!

He grabbed Tianma and stood up, looking around at the people with fear and vigilance.

Fortunately, everyone was caught up in the frenzy of Qilan Star being rescued, and no one noticed what they were just talking about.

Just thinking about how Tianma had blurted out "The Zerg are colluding with the Imperial Emperor!" without any concealment,

Damn!

That sentence was so scary!

Chi Yu directly dragged Tianma out of the bar, and the two walked all the way to their hotel room before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Yu finally had time to glare at Tianma and continue questioning him about what he had just said.

"Where did you find this fake news? Do you know what you were just saying? Say it again!"

Tianma was also dumbfounded. He himself was frightened by the news he had just discovered.

Who told him to hack into the Imperial Military Department and accidentally intercept another piece of information.

He got itchy and followed the clues, but he didn't expect that the source of the information wasn't within the imperial territory!

It wasn't even in the Federation.

Tianma was curious about where the signal was being transmitted to. As a result, he followed it all the way and was shocked to find out that it was the Zerg!

This meant that there were still people inside the Empire colluding with the Zerg!

He knew about all the things the Zerg had done to the Empire over the years. After all, Mei Qiu had made such a big fuss.

Almost everyone in the universe knew about it.

He just didn't expect that after so long, there were still nails inside the Empire.

When Tianma thought about this, and thought about how his boss was still on Qilan Star, he was afraid that this nail would have a big impact on Qilan Star.

So he turned back and touched the source of the signal again. This time, he found that the end of the signal was actually in the Imperial Palace!

Was this crazy?

Tianma subconsciously thought about the struggle for the throne. But soon, he realized a problem - the current Emperor only had one son and one daughter.

The daughter had married and given up her identity as a princess. Without brothers or partners, and with the only nephew, Yuan Fang, having long since taken his mother's surname, he had no right to inherit the throne. The current First Prince was the only heir.

There was no conflict at all, so who was sending information from the palace?

It couldn't be His Majesty, right?

That's what Tianma thought, but the source of the signal was indeed the current Imperial Emperor!

What a fantastic tale!

What a cosmic horror story?!

After hearing this, Chi Yu just wanted to sneer: Don't lie to me, I haven't read many books.

Chi Yu thought for a long time and asked again and again: "Are you sure?"

"What can I do if I'm not sure?" Tianma was also numb.

He never thought that he would find out such a result.

"Do you think there's something wrong with my optical brain?" Tianma's smile was a little awkward. Saying that there was something wrong with his optical brain was like saying that his own brain was broken.

But now he would rather his brain was broken than admit that the Emperor of the Empire was a traitor!

Even though he grew up in the extraterrestrial sea and had seen many sinful places and things,

He still couldn't believe that a person in such a high position would choose to betray all of his imperial subjects.

The more he thought about it, the more confused Chi Yu became.

Then Tianma and the others thought of another question -

Even if it was really the royal family, was it necessary to attack the Sixth Legion?

Could it be that the Sixth Legion was doing things too publicly and was disliked by His Majesty, so he wanted to use the Zerg to kill them?

It wasn't impossible.

But when they thought about it this way, they couldn't figure out another key point.

If they really couldn't tolerate the Sixth Legion, then they should just find a way to destroy the entire Sixth Legion base. Why go around to attack Qilan Star?

The garrison on Qilan Star was only a fraction of the entire Sixth Legion's soldiers!

Hu Mingli wasn't even there, and there were mostly innocent civilians. What was the point of killing the civilians?!

This point left Tianma and Chi Yu completely puzzled.

On the other side, Feng Li had finally finished telling Hu Mingli a long story.

Hu Mingli's mind was like a paste for a while. He couldn't even remember what he had just heard!

"So, His Majesty's indifference to Qilan Star is because someone on Qilan Star knew his secret, and he couldn't wait to kill him, is that right?"

Feng Li nodded, also complaining in her heart. How did Mei Shi and Ming Yi, who were in-laws with His Majesty, end up like this?

Even at the cost of sacrificing billions of souls.

Even at the cost of sacrificing the soldiers of the Sixth Legion;

Even at the cost of sacrificing a planet?

He just wanted to completely hide this secret?
