Chapter 959 Freedom and Power
958, Freedom and Power
According to the original plan, Ainle-Tim should have left by the spaceship the day after tomorrow, but just an hour ago, from Urgent news came from the planet Malastar, and the Jedi were aware of their plan.
So Ainle-Tim quickly and quietly exited the parliament hall under the leadership of his bodyguards, sneaking out through the back door.
Almost less than half an hour after he left, agents from the Republic came to the Galactic Parliament venue and then quietly searched the venue without attracting the attention of other members, but returned without success.
After receiving the news, Ainle-Tim was even more frightened and said to the bodyguard: "Hurry up and contact Governor Tang Xiao. I want to leave Coruscant immediately, immediately!"
More than a dozen bodyguards performed their duties. Some are responsible for reconnaissance, some are responsible for clearing the way, some are responsible for personal protection, and some are responsible for secretly tracking and sniping.
Furthermore, Einle-Tim has been involved in Coruscant politics for many years, so he naturally has great eyes and hands, and a large amount of intelligence was quickly compiled.
"Your Excellency, Congressman, there are already three teams of troops from the Public Security Department coming in our direction. They are trying to block the air routes in this area." A bodyguard said.
"There are two plainclothes here... solved." Another bodyguard said in the communication.
In fact, despite the fact that the Gran people look naive, they actually have one of the best eyesight among the races in the entire galaxy. The three eyes on their foreheads have a very wide field of view and are very sensitive to light. They can even see infrared rays directly!
So the Gran people are also one of the few intelligent creatures that evolved from pure herbivorous creatures, relying on their incredible eyesight.
Therefore, a well-trained Gran warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles is actually very scary, because their sight has almost no blind spots and they can see very small things. Although for the generally docile Gran people, it is not easy to cultivate such warriors.
At this time, the bodyguard in charge of communications came over and whispered: "The roads leading to the spaceport and the upper level are basically blocked... Sheev Palpatine has just made it public in the parliament. Announced the betrayal of the planet Malastar."
"Betrayal!" Ainle-Tim waved his fist fiercely, "Palpatine actually has the nerve to say this in front of me. Word! Every time, every time! He betrays us!"
"Intelligence agents from Dawn Planet have come here. It is said that the code name is 007. Our meeting point is on the 51st underground floor of Coruscant." The bodyguard said.
“Do you want to continue?” Ainle-Tim’s face darkened.
As powerful and noble as he is, he has never set foot below the fifth underground level of Coruscant. To him, those places are all unbearable slums.
"This is the only way. And we, as Gran people, are too conspicuous now. The intelligence agents of Dawn Planet are humans, and they are more convenient to hide." The bodyguard said, "If necessary, We would rather rush forward and fight the Republic defenders than send you out."
Ainle-Tim nodded, followed the bodyguard's instructions, took off his fine clothes, and then gave him to you. Another bodyguard put on, and he himself wore a thick, concealing robe, and quietly left, getting into a hover car.
At the same time, the bodyguard wearing his clothes and the other two bodyguards headed in the other direction.
A moment later, there was a burst of intensive gunfire and explosions from the direction where these bodyguards were moving, and many Public Security Department troops and intelligence officers riding flying motorcycles were seen gathering in that direction.
Taking this opportunity, Ainle-Tim quickly left here under the protection of bodyguards and fled towards the lower level.
Arrived at the predetermined location, a Gran bodyguard who was on guard outside suddenly heard a voice behind him whispering: "Listen, don't wander around... The whole Coruscant is arresting you now. You guys The influence of the congressman is too great, and Palpatine is very determined."
The bodyguard was shocked and shocked!
You know, he is from Gran! Someone could actually sneak up behind a battle-hardened Gran bodyguard!
"Okay, don't touch the tentacles on your forehead. Your security is very good. I can only get close to you on the outermost edge." The voice said again, "You can call me James. -Bond, codename 007, the person who came to contact us from Dawn Planet. Next, I suggest that our team take over the protection and transfer of Mr. Councilor. If you have too many people, the target will be too big." br>
The Gran bodyguard asked back: "How do you want to prove your identity?"
"There is no way to prove it. The communication given to you before was the only thing, and now the hyperspace communication has been completely blocked. "Truncation, I can't carry any identification items with me, so it's up to you to believe it or not," James Bond said.
The bodyguard discussed with his colleagues in the communication channel, and then asked Ainle-Tim himself for instructions, then shook his head and said: "No, we cannot completely trust you. Therefore, we will continue We are here to protect Mr. Congressman, but we will also act according to your instructions.”
James Bond sighed softly, "This is a very bad decision, but we also guess that most of you will not agree. Well, there is a garbage disposal station on the 1002nd underground floor, and there will be a garbage ship there. The spaceship will take off tomorrow afternoon. This is the safest way we can find. "Running from the 51st floor to the 1002nd floor in one day?" the bodyguard snorted.
"This is the only relatively safe way at present... If you really disagree, there is nothing we can do. We will also fulfill our responsibility to protect you." James Bond said solemnly.
The bodyguard communicated with Ainle-Tim for a while, then nodded and said, "Then leave as soon as possible!"
......
"Congressman Ainle-Tim, you must bring him out. Your Majesty the Governor, this matter is crucial." Count Dooku said seriously.
"I have sent my best intelligence agents to respond. I hope there will be no accidents this time." Tang Xiao held a glass of wine in his hand, his expression also very serious, "But Shiv- Palpatine immediately announced the arrest of Ainle-Tim in front of the parliament. It is really rare for him to be so decisive."
"Palpatine is our leader. With his decisive appearance, it should be said that there are many enemies." Count Dooku shook his head. "Congressman Tim has a very high reputation in the parliament. We urgently need people like him to further expand the political influence of the Confederation of Independent Systems. Force. ”
They are now in the restaurant of the Confederate Parliament on the sub-planet of Lasax.
"I heard that Senator Orn Free-Tower of the planet Ryloth rejected your invitation and then established a Twi'lek government-in-exile on Coruscant?" Tang Xiao changed the subject. asked.
"His loyalty to Palpatine is very firm. During the last election of the Galactic Senate Speaker, it was Orn Free-Tower's betrayal on the battlefield that contributed to the collapse of the Ring Council members and Palpatine. Come to power. It is impossible for him to lose such a large amount of political capital, even at the cost of the entire Twi'lek race," Count Dooku said.
"If this is the case, we need Ainle-Tim even more. With him speaking for us, we should be able to stabilize the government's support rate, which has been falling recently." Tang Xiao said.
Count Dooku smiled coldly and said: "I have to say that when we risk our lives to fight for the freedom of the people in the Outer Rim and win every step of the way, there are always people who want to jump out and say something about us. They shouldn’t fight this war, saying that the burden placed on them by the war is too heavy... This really chills me."
Tang Xiao smiled slightly, "Because we are just a confederacy, not even a federation."
"Oh? So what do you think?" Count Dooku turned around and asked. "If it were an 'Independent Galaxy Empire', then these problems would not exist." Tang Xiao said casually.
Count Dooku raised his eyebrows, and then laughed, "Hahahaha! Your ideas are highly consistent with mine, Your Majesty the Governor. So I always believe that in the entire Confederacy, you are the only one who is the most capable You understand me. But at least for now, we can only speak cautiously, because you should know that there are many galaxies that just want...'freedom'."
"Freedom and freedom. Power... Haha, this drink is for power." Tang Xiao picked up the wine glass with a smile.
Ding, he and Count Dooku’s wine glasses touched lightly, making a clear sound.
Count Dooku took a sip of wine very elegantly, and then said: "Let's go, Your Majesty the Governor. We need to go back to the Confederacy Council and more than 300 planetary governments, led by Onderon, propose war taxes. The demands are too high, but the problem still needs to be solved... As for Representative Ainler-Tim, we are just waiting for good news from your intelligence agent.”
...
At the same time, Coruscant, in the Jedi Temple.
Two young Jedi Knights are walking out quickly. They are both human beings, and they are young, handsome, and sunny. One has an Eastern face, and the other has a typical Western face, with deep brown hair.
They are Jing Fang and Jax Pawan, who have just completed apprenticeship training and been promoted to Jedi Knights.
“I didn’t expect, Jing Fang, that our first mission after being promoted to Jedi Knights was to arrest that ‘big shot’...” Jax Pawan said with some emotion, “You know I used to see him on the news almost every day... It’s a bit unreal to think that such a big shot should be arrested by us.”
The Easterner Jing Fang was one of the three children sent from the Dawn Planet to study in the Jedi Temple. The other two were Luna Meng and Luna Huan, who were now quite famous in the Jedi Order.
Jing Fang thought for a moment and said: "Since we, the Jedi Order, are required to intervene in this matter, it means that the Republic Intelligence Department really has nothing to do with this 'big shot'. Maybe we will encounter extraordinary people. "Haha, just stop all the ships that may leave Coruscant," Jax Pawan said carelessly.
Jing Fang shook his head, "Since he has come to us, it means that conventional methods are no longer effective. I think we should use the force to sense that this 'big man' used to be so powerful. There must be many people here. Help him."
"Eh? What big shot?" A girl's voice sounded like a silver bell from behind.
Jing Fang and Jax Pawan suddenly felt as if they had been shocked by electricity. They stood up straight and leaned against the wall without daring to breathe.
"That...it's nothing, nothing! It's just...just in the parliament today...ah no, I saw many high-ranking big shots in the holographic news station!" Jax Pawan quickly explained .
Jing Fang was even covered in cold sweat and stood aside without daring to move.
I saw two beautiful blond girls walking over. One was wearing a red dress with a single ponytail tied on the left side of her head. The other was wearing a blue dress with a single ponytail tied on her head. On the right, who are the Dream Sisters?
Jax Pawan and Jing Fang are often bullied by the Dream Sisters in their daily training and life. How dare you be the first to make trouble with these two even though they have nothing to do? The little ancestor who had a high probability of being unable to beat them was extremely frightened.
Luna-Huan, who was wearing a red dress, frowned and looked at the two of them carefully, as if she wanted to see something from their expressions, but she was disappointed in the end.
Her expression suddenly fell, "Oh... so boring... Ever since the last time the priestess publicly executed the dictator on the planet Tibrin... Master Yoda has been forbidden. Let's go out...it's so boring..."
"This...it can't be helped...after all, after all, the priestess..." Jax Pawan stammered and wanted to comfort him. , but didn’t know what to say.
"Hey, you two are walking together, do you have any mission? How about taking me with you?" Luna Phantom stared at Jax Pawan and said.
"That...that...our mission this time is to patrol the lower levels of Coruscant...it's very boring..." Jax Pawan said quickly.
Luna Dream, who was standing behind Luna Phantom, took a deep look at Jax Pawan and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
However, Luna-Huan did not notice this. When she heard that it was a patrol, she felt very bored and waved her hands, "You can go on patrol slowly, we will go back to meditate."
< br>After saying that, he turned around and left.
Luna Meng behind her smiled and bowed politely to the two of them, and then left with her sister.
Jax Pawan and Jing Fang breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and found that each other was dripping with cold sweat, and laughed again.
"Hey, that sister just now, Luna Meng, she knows you are lying." Jing Fang said.
"My sister is okay, my sister is really a dangerous person." Jax Pawan waved his hand and said.
Jing Fang shook his head, "No, the really scary one should be my sister."
At this time, a sharp shout suddenly came from behind them, "Jax Pa Wan! How dare you be lazy here!" This voice clearly belongs to Master Windu!
The two of them were immediately stunned, and sure enough they saw Master Windu standing behind them with an angry look on his face.
"Ah, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, we will go to the mission right away! Right now..." Jax Pawan panicked, quickly grabbed Jing Fang and ran towards the door.
Bang! ! The two of them hit the wall so hard that they were dizzy.
Looking again, the door was in the direction they were walking. It was clearly a wall! And where is Master Windu behind him? There is obviously no one there!
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Not boring now!" Luna-Huan's proud laughter came from the distance.
