Chapter 311 The Dying Man × 2
309. The Dying Man × 2
Before, he heard Darth Plagueis saying that the operation to blockade the planet Naboo would take place in half a year. When it unfolded, I felt a little strange about the time.
Because it stands to reason that Padmé Amidala, Queen of Naboo, has already negotiated with the Trade Federation, and Newt Gunray, under the orders of the Sith, has determined that Naboo is a model. , killing the chicken to show the monkey, and shocking the Galactic Republic, so the negotiation cannot be successful.
In that case, since the talks have collapsed, let’s start fighting right away. Why wait half a year? And the reason Plagueis gave was that Newt Gunray also needed to plan his own battleship formation.
This is obviously an excuse given by Newt Gunray. The Trade Federation actually has military staff to think about its own battleship formation? This is simply the biggest joke of the century!
Sure enough, it happened.
Tang Xiao was planning his actions while recalling the plot.
The time has now reached 32 BBY, which means that after the Battle of Naboo, Sheev Palpatine became the Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, and that night, it was Darth Plagueis. death date.
One thing he wants to be sure of is that Darth Plagueis must die!
Because during the three years since he was Darth Plagueis's apprentice, he had served Plagueis almost heart and soul, and even made a gesture of being willing to give everything.
Even the fourth group he founded is now legally owned by Darth Plagueis.
In this case, if Darth Plagueis does not die, it will be obvious that he will completely become his vassal in the future, without self or thought, just a tool.
This situation... must not be allowed!
In order to ensure that Darth Sidious killed his master Darth Plagueis, Tang Xiao secretly did a lot of things.
For example, he actively involved the Fourth Group in every riot planned by Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, regardless of whether Plagueis asked him to go or not. Similar to the Inchori riot, Plagueis had no intention of letting Tang Xiao participate, but Tang Xiao still took the initiative to participate, and by the way, he also planned to seize the Golden Nice Shipyard.
This not only allows the Fourth Group to take advantage of these turmoils and get better growth opportunities, but also allows the Fourth Group’s activity to fall into the eyes of another person...
Darth Sidious!
Tang Xiao understood that he was a pawn secretly cultivated by Darth Plagueis to check and balance Darth Sidious, so he must continue to show his value. Now, his value has been recognized by Darth Plagueis, and at the same time, it has also been seen by Darth Sidious.
From Darth Sidious's point of view, he would only think that the Fourth Group was beyond his control and had never even had contact with it, but it intervened time and time again without saying a word. The new company he planned was a back-up arranged by Darth Plagueis.
The Sith Lord himself lived in conspiracy and suspicion. When Darth Sidious saw Plagueis secretly cultivating power, he could only think that Plagueis wanted to deal with him, so he would attack Plagueis. Gus becomes increasingly wary.
But Darth Plagueis cannot explain this matter. On the one hand, the Fourth Group is his own trump card, and on the other hand, he is the Lord, so naturally he will not lose face. His apprentice explains what he wants to do.
In this way, the more active the Fourth Group becomes, the more fearful Sidious becomes of Plagueis. And this fear, coupled with his original murderous intention, will make his determination to kill Plagueis even stronger!
And what’s even more wonderful is that the things he did were all natural. Neither Sidious nor Plagueis would think that this was someone trying to sow discord.
And now, this is another opportunity! An opportunity to quietly drive a wedge between Sidious and Plagueis, the plastic master-student pair!
...Coruscant Underground Space, Floor 1022.
Several houses exploded and were immediately engulfed in fire. The fire brigade's water jets and firefighting B-1 robots were extinguishing the fire at the fire scene.
There are many people around who are watching the fire, and everyone is still pointing.
In an inconspicuous corner, a human man in his 40s, accompanied by a robot, watched the fire scene intently. He is the self-proclaimed information intermediary, Lorne Pawan.
Just one day ago, he had just visited one of the houses and purchased a holographic memory from a Neimoidian for 500,000 credits. It is said that there is an extremely dangerous military plan inside, which may block the planet Naboo in the near future!
What is even more terrifying is that there is evidence of the existence of the Sith in the memory! !
Perhaps many residents of the Galactic Republic have forgotten what a Sith is, but he is different. He knows what the word Sith means.
However, he does not have 500,000 credit points, but he also knows that this memory is not trivial. As long as he can get it, many people will be willing to pay a high price to buy it.
So he pulled a little trick and had his own robot, I-5, hack into a bank's system and make it appear that his electronic account had 500,000 credits. Well, it just seems that he doesn't have the ability to modify the account directly, and it can only last about 40 minutes before being discovered by the bank's security system.
But he succeeded, he tricked the memory and left.
But the fire in front of us made things look not that simple.
What Lorne Pawan didn't know was that his little trick had forced the dignified Deputy Governor of the Trade Alliance into a desperate situation. Because Haas Monchar was chased by the bounty hunters sent by Newt Gunray and his account was frozen, he used the 500,000 credits to bribe a smuggler to take him away from Coruscant. .
Who knew that he handed over the memory, but he didn’t receive a penny!
So when he was desperate, he was blocked by Darth Maul, and then he completely gave himself up.
The victims inside the burning house were carried out one by one, and their bodies were burned beyond recognition. Listening to the comments from some people around, it seemed that more than a dozen bounty hunters died inside, as well as several high-ranking officials from the Trade Federation.
Pawan's heart sank for a while. He knew that it seemed that the other party had also killed the bounty hunter who was chasing the Neimoidian. What a cruel method!
When the Neimoidian's body was finally carried out, Lorne Pawan's heart almost jumped out of his chest!
He knew the scars from the incision on the neck of the headless corpse! Although it was burned by the fire, it can still be distinguished that there is no blood flowing out of this incision, and it was scorched by the high temperature in an instant!
He knew that this was a wound caused by a lightsaber! !
It is absolutely impossible for a Jedi to do something like this, so there is only one possibility!
The Sith...they really exist! !
Lorne Pawan sped up and left quietly from the shadows. He let his loyal robot I-5 hang behind to monitor whether there were any stalkers.
He only has one idea now: sell this memory as soon as possible, and then tell his son about the appearance of the Sith!
The reason he was able to identify the lightsaber wounds was because he was very familiar with the Jedi. His son is...
Jedi Knight, Jax Pawan! !
