Chapter 959 Freedom and Power

958. Freedom and power

According to the original plan, Ainle-Tim should have left on the spaceship the day after tomorrow, but just an hour ago, urgent news came from the planet Malastar, and the Jedi were aware of their plan.

So Ainle-Tim quickly and quietly exited the parliament venue 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 felt even more horrified and said to his bodyguard: "Hurry up and contact Governor Tang Xiao. I want to leave Coruscant immediately, immediately!"

More than a dozen bodyguards each perform their own duties. Some are responsible for investigation, some are responsible for clearing the way, some are responsible for personal protection, and some are responsible for secret tracking and sniping.

Moreover, Einle-Tim has been involved in Coruscant politics for many years, so he naturally has great hands and eyes, 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!

Therefore, 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 and experienced Gran warrior is actually very terrifying, 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... Just now Sheev Palpatine has publicly announced Malasta in the parliament. The betrayal of your planet."

"Betrayal!" Ainle-Tim waved his fist fiercely, "Palpatine actually has the nerve to say the word betrayal in front of me! Every time, every time! He is betraying me! Betraying our Granland people!"

"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 as he is, as noble as he is, he has never set foot below the fifth underground level of Coruscant. To him, those places are all unsightly slums.

"This is the only way. And we, as Gran people, are too conspicuous now. The intelligence agents of Dawn Planet are humans, and it is easier for them to hide." The bodyguard said, "If necessary, we would rather rush forward and follow The garrison of the Republic will try their best to send you out."

Ainle-Tim nodded, followed the bodyguard's instructions, took off his fine clothes, and then put it on another bodyguard. He himself wore a thick and concealing robe, quietly left, and got 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 the 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, escorted by bodyguards, and fled towards the lower level.

Arriving 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 of Coruscant is looking for you now. Your MPs have too much influence. , 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. Our 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, code name 007 , people from Dawn Planet. Next, I suggest that our team take over the protection and transfer of Mr. Congress. If you have too many people, the target will be too big."

The Gran bodyguard asked: "How do you prove your identity?"

"There's no way to prove it. The communication I gave you before is the only thing I have. Now that hyperspace communication has been completely cut off, it's impossible for me to carry items to prove my identity. 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 to protect Mr. Congressman around us. 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 ship will take off tomorrow afternoon. This is the safest way we can find."

"Going from the 51st underground floor to the 1002nd underground floor in one day? Are you kidding me?" the bodyguard snorted.

"This is the only relatively safe way at present... If you really don't agree, there is nothing we can do. We will also fulfill our responsibility to protect you." James Bond said in a deep voice.

The bodyguard communicated with Ainle-Tim for a while, then nodded and said, "Then let's 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 Sheev Palpatine is the first The time came to announce the arrest of Ainle Tim in front of the parliament. It is really rare for him to be so decisive. "

"Palpatine is our biggest enemy. His decisiveness can be said to be very great." Count Dooku shook his head. "Congressman Tim has a very high reputation in the parliament. We are in urgent need of people like him." To further expand the political influence of the Confederation of Independent Systems."

They are currently on the sub-planet of Lasax, in the dining hall of the Confederate Parliament.

"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 asked, changing the subject.

"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 Councilors and Palpatine's 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 risked our lives to fight for the freedom of the people in the Outer Rim and were winning every step of the way, there were always people who would jump out and say that we should not fight this war. , saying that the war has placed too heavy a burden on them... This really chills me."

Tang Xiao smiled slightly, "Because we are just a confederation, 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 thoughts are very consistent with mine, Your Excellency the Governor. So I always believe that in the entire Confederacy, you are the only person who can understand me best. . 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 power... Haha, this drink is for power." Tang Xiao picked up the wine glass with a smile.

Ding, he touched Count Dooku's wine glasses lightly, making a crisp 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 Confederation Council. More than 300 planetary governments, led by Onderon, have raised demands for excessive war taxes. Why? There is also a problem that needs to be solved... As for Representative Ainler-Tim, we are just waiting for good news from your intelligence officer."

…

At the same time, Coruscant, in the Jedi Temple.

Two young Jedi Knights were walking out quickly. They were both human beings, and they were young, handsome, and sunny. One had an Eastern face, and the other had a typical Western face and dark brown hair.

They are Jing Fang and Jax Pawan, who have just completed apprentice training and been promoted to Jedi Knights.

"I really didn't expect that, Jing Fang, our first mission after being promoted to Jedi Knights was to arrest that 'big shot'..." Jax Pawan said with some emotion, "You know, I was here almost every day before I saw him on the news... It’s a bit unreal to think that such a big shot would 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 resistance."

"Haha, as I say, just stop all spaceships 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, and there must be many people helping him."

"Eh? What kind of big shot?" A girl's voice as sweet as a silver bell came 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... nothing, nothing! It's just... just today in the parliament... no, I saw many high-ranking figures in the holographic news station!" Jax Pavan hurriedly explained.

Jing Fang was sweating profusely, standing aside and not daring to move.

Only to see two beautiful blonde girls coming over, one wearing a red dress, with a ponytail on the left side of her head, and the other wearing a blue dress, with a ponytail on the right side of her head, who else could it be but the Dream Sisters?

Jax Pavan and Jing Fang were often bullied by the Dream Sisters in their daily training and life. They were extremely afraid of these two little ancestors who would make trouble for no reason, and you first dare not beat them and secondly, you are very likely to be unable to beat them.

Luna-Huan, who was wearing a red dress, frowned and looked at the two carefully, as if she wanted to see some clues from their expressions, but was disappointed in the end.

Her expression suddenly collapsed, "Ah... so boring... since the last time the priestess publicly executed the dictator on the planet Tiblin... Master Yoda has not allowed us to go out... so boring..."

"This... there is no way... after all, after all, the priestess..." Jax-Pavan stuttered to comfort, but didn't know what to say.

"Hey, you two are walking together, do you have a mission? How about taking me with you?" Luna-Huan stared at Jax-Pavan and said.

"That... that... our mission this time is to patrol the lower level of Coruscant... very boring..." Jax-Pavan said quickly.

Luna-Meng, who was standing behind Luna-Huan, looked at Jax-Pavan deeply, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

However, Luna-Huan didn't notice these. When she heard that it was a patrol, she felt very bored and waved her hand, "You guys go on patrol slowly, we'll go back to meditate."

After that, she turned and left.

Luna-Meng behind her smiled and bowed politely to the two of them, and then left with her sister.

Jax-Pavan and Jing Fang breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and found that the other was sweating profusely, and laughed again.

"Hey, that sister just now, Luna-Meng, she knows you are lying." Jing Fang said.

"The sister is fine, but the younger sister is really dangerous." Jax-Pavan waved his hand and said.

Jing Fang shook his head, "No, the really scary one should be the sister."

At this time, a sharp shout suddenly came from behind them, "Jax-Pavan! How dare you be lazy here!!" This voice was Master Windu!

The two of them were immediately scared to death, and they saw Master Windu standing behind them with an angry face.

"Ah, sorry... sorry, we will go to the mission immediately! Immediately..." Jax-Pavan panicked, and quickly grabbed Jing Fang and ran towards the door.

Bang! ! The two of them hit the wall hard, and they were dizzy.

Looking again, the direction they were walking was not the door, it was clearly a wall! And where was Master Windu behind them? There is clearly no one here!

"Hahahahahaha!! Now it's not boring anymore!" Luna-Huan's smug laughter came from a distance.
