Rikuo was not afraid when he saw Sennah in person. He just stood with his back to the firelight in the sky and smiled at his mask-covered face.
"Is the Commander-in-Chief also here to see the show? But you brought so many people here, which is a bit of a mobilization of troops."
"Of course not." Sennah's hoarse and low-pitched voice came from the black robe, which seemed even more eerie and ethereal in this firelight and lonely night, "I'm not here to watch the fun, I'm here to catch you, Duke.
"
As he said that, he raised his robe and sat directly on the high-backed chair brought by his subordinates. His posture was lazy and elegant, as if he was not worried that Rikuo would slip away from under his nose.
Riku Xiong didn't seem to expect that he would be so straightforward, so he narrowed his eyes, but the bright light only flashed across his eyes for a moment and then disappeared without a trace.
"Oh, really? Then on what charge does the Commander-in-Chief want to arrest Lu?" He said unhurriedly, "As far as I know, the BLOOD plan for this fight between commanders is still yours, Commander-in-Chief
I proposed that I kill Night Owl today just following the order of the commander of the second area to clear the obstacles for him. My behavior is completely in line with the rules. Commander, are you trying to renege on your words by mobilizing troops like this?"
Rikuo used his trump card calmly.
He dared to take Ye Xiao's life in such a big way today because of this. Originally, he didn't pay attention to Ye Xiao's plan to rise to the top. He was just a pariah from the lower three districts. Even if he climbed to the highest position, he would still be a middle-aged man.
The useless paper tiger cannot threaten his status at all.
But he should never touch his precious son.
That was the only flesh and blood he had left in the world.
At that time, he was also afraid that Lu Yuanlin would act too arrogantly in District 1 and arouse the Queen's suspicion, so he ruthlessly sent him to District 11.
I didn't expect that this unscrupulous night owl would take advantage of me.
Although he was heartbroken, he also knew that there was nothing he could do to fix the matter, so he could only use his power to cut him into pieces overnight, cut his heart out and take out his kidneys, so that the world could see what would happen if he offended the Lu family.
However, Sennah unhurriedly crossed her legs and nodded her forehead with her black-gloved hand. She looked careless, but in fact, she was full of impatience towards Rikuo with every move she made.
"Who said I came to arrest you because you killed Night Owl?" He sneered, "Duke Lu, Duke Lu, you have been smart all your life, but you have become confused when you are old."
"Of course I'm here to arrest you today for 'treason'."
He bit those three words so hard that the usually calm Riku Xiong changed his expression.
"Sennah, don't be slanderous!" Lu Xiong glared angrily, "My Lu family has always been innocent and has served the empire for generations. How can I be arbitrarily accused of treason by you?!"
Sennah chuckled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, Duke, it's not too late for us to make a conclusion after reading this."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and a display screen suddenly appeared between the two of them.
What was on the screen was none other than evidence that his dead son, Lu Yuanlin, had taken advantage of his change of duty to peddle banned pills and sell imperial mechas in Solomon.
Rikuo's face turned pale little by little.
Sennah changed her posture and raised her chin provocatively, "How about it, Lord Duke? Are you still familiar with these things?"
Rikuo was about to speak, but was interrupted by him raising his hand.
"I know what you are going to say, that this is all your son's doing and has nothing to do with you or the entire Lu family."
"But Lord Duke, if you think about it carefully, does it really have nothing to do with it?"
Sennah's tone gradually slowed down, and Rikuo could even see his snake-like eyes through the luminous mask.
Rikuo clenched his fists.
Sennah is right, he did know.
When he first learned that Lu Yuanlin was conducting illegal transactions in District 11, he was angry. Although he longed for power, money and status, he did not bother to use such despicable methods.
But gradually, the white money flowing into the Lu family completely blinded his eyes.
The Queen attaches great importance to new talents and has already forgotten all about them, the old nobles. If he had not used some extraordinary means, the Lu family would have been squeezed out of the first district.
So he chose silence and indulged Lu Yuanlin.
Thinking about it now, his own acquiescence may have been the culprit that caused his son's destruction.
Seeing the slight remorse in Lu Xiong's eyes, Sennah smacked her tongue and clapped her hands.
"Your Excellency, there is no regret medicine in this world for you." He stood up and waved to the Iron Rose Army behind him, which was as dark as a cloud urging the city. "Lu Xiong harbored evil intentions and did evil, and his son Lu Yuanlin openly defied him.
The empire ordered the peddling of prohibited items and repeatedly leaked imperial secrets."
"The Queen has issued an edict that the Lu family will be expelled from the country with immediate effect. Lu Xiong will be stripped of his title of Duke and exiled to Planet M. He will not be able to leave the country for the rest of his life."
After the clear voice fell, he carried the warm summer breeze and walked step by step to Rikuo. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and raised his lips with a smile.
"Duke Lu, have a safe journey."
News of Rikuo's exile spread throughout the empire overnight.
The empire's indifference to the tragic death of Region Three Commander Ye Xiao also successfully alerted other commanders. After that night, the blood system no longer sounded a notification tone, and the eleven administrative regions were temporarily at peace.
This undoubtedly gave Si Yu a chance to buffer.
During this period of time, he simply re-planned District 11 and established a rescue station to help the homeless and helpless people to maintain their lives as much as possible.
Under his governance, the originally smoky District 11 gradually showed a prosperous situation.
After the situation was completely stable, he handed over the management of District 11 to Qi Wusi and took the others to District 10 to take up their posts.
However, as soon as the spaceship left the port of District 11, Si Yu stepped into the cab and said to Tang Zhou, who was driving the spaceship attentively:
"Switch the route, we don't have to go to District 10."
Tang Zhou looked at his frown and cold expression, confused, "What happened?"
Xiao Wu, who was arguing with Bai Wu at the side, also rarely became quiet.
"Boss, you haven't accepted another challenge from another commander, have you? But we haven't reached the tenth district yet? Our buttocks are not even hot yet."
Si Yu didn't say anything, but quietly raised his left hand and showed the commander's communicator.
Then he gently swiped the screen, and a huge display suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
I saw a line of blood-red characters engraved on the screen——
[Commander Situ Lu, congratulations! You have been appointed as the commander of the third district by Sennah, the commander of the first district. Please be sure to go to the third district to take up the post within three days! 】
