Chapter 934: Chapter 939: The Empress Summons

An Ruoqing spat out blood, "You’re slandering us!"

"Quit your nonsense! Drop all your weapons and surrender! Let me be frank with you. Her Majesty the Queen is well aware of your little antics in the fishing village. She deliberately spread rumors about visiting this area, intending to catch you all in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, Tuoba Xinghua’s woman returned to the fishing village. Hence, Her Majesty changed her strategy, capturing you and then forcing Tuoba Xinghua to negotiate. Her Majesty is kind-hearted and does not wish for war to continue, hoping that Tuoba Xinghua will cease his actions," said the armed leader.

"Where do you plan to take us?" An Ruoqing calmed down and asked.

"Her Majesty the Queen wishes to meet Tuoba Xinghua’s woman."

Yang Gang’s gaze flickered.

Damnit, something’s not right here.

He had already guessed his own fate. An Ruoqing would be taken to see the queen, while an insignificant character like himself would be executed on the spot.

This is exactly how Hollywood movies play out!

Therefore, Yang Gang quickly said, "I assume the Queen is also curious about Tuoba Xinghua’s woman’s lover, right?"

An Ruoqing broke down, "What are you talking about!"

Yang Gang sighed, "Ruoqing, at this point, are you still trying to hide it? Yes, I wasn’t feeling well earlier, perhaps I did not satisfy you, but you can’t abandon me because of that."

The special forces of the empire listened with excitement.

Holy shit, engaging in such activities on a spaceship, this man and woman are truly debauched!

The leader of the empire’s special forces thought it over and decided this scandal could deal a heavy blow to the rebel forces. Thus, he gestured grandly, "Take them both!"

An Ruoqing felt the urge to strangle Yang Gang, but as the woman of a rebel leader, to behave like a shrew in public would give the imperial army even more leverage against them.

So, An Ruoqing held back.

Both were shackled with electronic handcuffs and stuffed into a sedan. The convoy then took the mountain roads to avoid surveillance by the Freedom Army, smoothly leaving the territory controlled by the Freedom Army.

Xijing, this is the largest city in the western part of the Longqi Empire, with a resident population of nearly ten billion, almost as much as the total population of Earth.

Xijing is also the frontline where the imperial government and the rebel forces have clashed in combat. A thousand kilometers to the west of the city’s outskirts is the battlefront camp of the Freedom Army.

Do not think a thousand kilometers is far. In the technologically advanced Pandora, that’s about the same as ten kilometers on Earth. It is basically just outside the maximum range of the laser cannons.

On this day, all of Xijing, especially the troops stationed there, received thrilling news: Her Majesty the Queen was coming to Xijing to visit the frontline soldiers.

From the moment they heard the news, the soldiers stationed in Xijing were as if on drugs, overwhelmingly excited. Although officers continually reminded them to stay calm, it was to no avail. In fact, even the officers were too excited to contain themselves.

Her Majesty the Queen and her Black Beauty Mecha had created countless miracles during the empire’s unification war.

Miracles like the Queen single-handedly repelling a million-strong enemy force at the Sorin Mine Area were numerous.

One such miracle happened right in Xijing.

Three years ago, Xijing was under the control of the local warlord Cao clan.

The Cao clan was among the stronger factions of local warlords, with a mecha troop count of a hundred thousand. At that time, Her Majesty the Queen had not yet claimed the throne, and her total forces barely reached a million, with even fewer combat mechas, hardly a thousand. The disparity in forces was huge. Yet, Her Majesty the Queen led from the front in her Black Beauty Mecha, personally slaying five of the enemy’s generals. The enemy was intimidated, and their morale was shattered. The Queen’s army easily occupied Xijing, the Cao clan was routed, and they had no choice but to lead a few elite forces and flee the city.

Since the event was already legendary, after being politically embellished, the image of the Queen became deified in the hearts of the people in Xijing.

On a main street of Xijing, a prisoner transport vehicle carrying Yang Gang and An Ruoqing rushed past with a whoosh.

Yang Gang could feel the excited hormones of the people outside the transport and was curious.

"What’s happening outside? Everyone seems thrilled. Is a big star coming to Xijing or something?"

The imperial soldier in charge of the transportation curled his lips, "No star within the empire has that kind of influence. Only Her Majesty the Queen is entitled to such a reception."

Yang Gang was surprised, "The Queen is already here?"

"In six hours."

Despite being detained, Yang Gang wasn’t very worried. Even though, in the Rebel Army’s eyes, the Empress of the Longqi Empire was a scourge upon the world, he thought this was an exaggeration. Even within the territory controlled by the Freedom Army, there were many admirers of the Queen, like Xia Ji, for instance.

Therefore, Yang Gang personally believed that it should be possible to communicate with the Empress of Longqi.

If they could communicate, then everything would be easy to discuss.

Half an hour later, Yang Gang and An Ruoqing were brought into a heavily guarded prison and locked in the same room, and their handcuffs were removed.

This was definitely intentional.

Feeling An Ruoqing’s angry gaze, Yang Gang sweated slightly.

"Miss An, if I hadn’t said that, we might have already been disposed of like trash. Even a couple facing great disaster would fly apart, so what does it matter if we strangers use each other for mutual benefit?"

An Ruoqing knew that Yang Gang was making excuses, but for the moment, she really didn’t know how to refute him.

After a while, she calmed down and said indifferently, "Yang Gang, this is merely prolonging your life temporarily. When the Empire Queen comes for the interrogation later, I definitely won’t cover for you. I’ve heard the Empress despises liars the most, so you’d better pray for good luck!"

She paused, remembering something, "Weren’t you quite impressive at the arena? Why didn’t you resist them then?"

Yang Gang heaved a deep sigh, "Girl, do you think powerful moves don’t have cooldowns? I was in a cooldown period for my skills back then, unable to use my ultimate move."

An Ruoqing believed him because it made sense!

"I understand, it means you used a powerful superpower, which consumed a lot of spiritual power. You need to replenish your spiritual power before you can use it a second time."

Something occurred to her, and her eyes lit up, "When the Queen arrives, just use your ultimate move to take her out. That way, you’ll be a national hero!"

Yang Gang rolled his eyes, "Stop it, the current public opinion in the empire supports the Queen. If I took out the Queen, I’d definitely be labeled a national traitor. Besides, you just said you wouldn’t shield me a moment ago, telling me to accept my fate."

An Ruoqing’s expression turned awkward. She took a deep breath, then said, "How much longer until your ultimate move is ready? I’ll buy you time."

"It’s alright, I’ll give you a signal," replied Yang Gang.

"OK! Deal."

At that moment, the door of the cell opened, a group of fully armed soldiers stood at the door, and then a military officer with the rank of Major entered, "Please come with me, both of you. Her Majesty wishes to see you."
