Card Room

Chapter 409

His Royal Highness's birthday banquet officially began at 8pm.

Yu Hanjiang led Xiao Lou into the banquet hall. Like other guards, he stood silently in the corner of the hall to minimize his presence.

He glanced across the audience and soon locked the "Xiao Lou" and His Majesty in the crowd.

This birthday banquet did not invite official media reports, which is equivalent to a privately held birthday party. The atmosphere is not as serious as a government meeting. The expressions on the faces of the guests attending the dinner are relatively relaxed, but the dress is very formal, male. It's a uniform suit or military uniform. Except for officials wearing suits, women's families wear evening dresses.

His Majesty said a few words, and immediately followed the Prince.

The prince who was exactly the same as Xiao Lou walked to the stage and smiled at the full of guests. The clear voice rang throughout the banquet hall. "Thank you very much for taking the time to attend my 25-year-old birthday party. I am very honored to meet you on such occasions. I hope there will be more opportunities to learn and communicate with you in the future ... "

He is wearing a white royal dress today, and he always smiles when he speaks, looking personable and calm. The young prince did not have arrogance above his eyes, but was humble and polite, which made him feel kind and gentle.

The handsome prince stood on the stage and talked eloquently. The outstanding temperament attracted the attention of the audience almost instantaneously. Many Miss Qianjin even blushed when he met his gaze.

Yu Hanjiang stared at the crowd on the stage and frowned slightly.

I have to say that this person is indeed very similar to Xiao Lou.

Of course, Yu Hanjiang believes that if Xiao Lou personally attended today's banquet and gave a speech on the stage, it would definitely be more attractive than the person in front of him. After all, Xiao Lou is actually a university professor and often speaks to hundreds of students in open classes.

However, objectively speaking, this replicator has performed very well.

At least the officials in the audience were mostly appreciative, and His Majesty seemed very satisfied with him.

The prince's speech ended, and there was warm applause from the scene.

The dinner was in a buffet style. The atmosphere was relaxed and free, and it was convenient for His Majesty to introduce officials from various departments to the prince.

His Majesty took him through the banquet hall and greeted the generals of the military department first.

The marshal of the empire was named Ye Ming. He was 66 years old this year and had gray hair, but the old marshal in a military uniform still looked energetic. The three senior officers of the rank of "Admiral", named Lin Zecheng, Farrell and Ace, wore pure black, dark blue and military green military uniforms.

There is no distinction between navy, land and air force in the military department of the Luoke Empire, but it is divided according to the military area. It is probably because this era is no longer a maritime and aerial combat. Most of the battles are in the interstellar, and rely on highly intelligent fighter armor.

Marshal Ye Ming is the highest authority of the emperor, and the remaining three generals are in charge of the southern, eastern and northwestern military regions of the empire. The Lijian Legion led by Lu Jiuchuan belongs to the Southern Military Region. The immediate supervisor is General Lin Zecheng, the biological father of the prince's fiancee, Miss Lin Yan.

Several officers saluted the prince, and the prince responded respectfully.

Lu Jiuchuan followed behind General Lin and reached out to "Xiao Lou" and said, "His Royal Highness, Happy Birthday."

General Lin introduced beside him, "This is Major General Lu Jiuchuan of the Arrow Army."

The prince nodded and shook hands with Lu Jiuchuan. A polite smile appeared on his face. "It turned out to be General Lu. He has long respected his name. I heard that General Lu is the youngest major general at the Ministry of Military Affairs? Is it really young and promising."

Lu Jiuchuan withdrew his hand, "Your Highness has won the prize."

If it were not for Yu Hanjiang to say hello in advance, saying that Xiao Lou had a copy person in the palace, Lu Jiuchuan could hardly tell the difference-it was so similar.

The appearance and figure are 100 copies, and even the smile seems to be moved from Xiao Lou's face!

But if I thought about it carefully and felt wrong, the "Xiao Lou" in front of me looked at Lu Jiuchuan without any kind of intimacy. When Xiao Lou met Lu Jiuchuan, even if it was not convenient to call him "Jiuge" in public, his eyes should not be so strange.

He and Lu Jiuchuan apparently met for the first time, with a polite, polite attitude and a touch of alienation.

After saying hello to Lu Jiuchuan, he continued to talk to other generals.

Lu Jiuchuan looked back at his back and touched his chin thoughtfully. Just about to turn around to inform Shao Qingge, it turned out that Shao Qingge and Ye Qi took the initiative to walk towards this side.

Shao Qingge reached out his hand and smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, Happy Birthday. His Royal Highness is really extraordinary, so admirable." Mr. Shao's smiling face was obviously a joke in Kaixiao Building.

Xiao Lou did not rush out his hand, just smiled and looked at Shao Qingge until the person in the concierge whispered in his ear that "this is Mr. Shao Qingge, the vice chairman of the Imperial Business Alliance."

Xiao Lou reached out his hand, and then took it back with a light grasp of Shao Qingge. "Mr. Shao, long time."

Shao Qingge "?"

Why, this is no longer known?

Ye Qi, who was behind him, also walked in front of Xiao Lou, "His Royal Highness!"

Xiao Lou wondered, "Is this this?"

Ye Qi was stunned and looked at Xiao Lou seriously, as if to say Professor Xiao, it was me! Don't you know me when I wear a military uniform? However, Xiao Lou did not respond to his gaze.

Shao Qingge realized that something was wrong and gently wrapped Ye Qi ’s shoulders and introduced, “His Royal Highness smiled. This is my son. Shao Yeqi has always admired His Royal Highness, so I brought him to see you in person.”

Xiao Lou smiled slightly at Ye Qi, and his eyes were gentle. "Mr. Shao's son is a student of the Ninth Military Academy?" He clearly saw Ye Qi's military uniform belonging to the Ninth Military Academy.

Shao Qingge said, "Well, I just read freshman this year."

Xiao Lou said with appreciation that "The Ninth Military Academy is notoriously difficult to test, and Mr. Shao really is a tiger father without dogs."

Ye Qi "???

Listening to the conversation between Shao Qingge and Xiao Lou, Ye Qi gradually realized that something was wrong, he stepped back blankly, and then saw Xiao Lou walked past him and Shao Qingge and continued to talk to other guests.

Ye Qi leaned into Shao Qingge's ear, "Don't he know me?"

Shao Qingge raised his eyebrows. "I don't know me either-this Xiaolou has a problem."

Ye Qi was confused. "Did he lose his memory? Why didn't the Yu team stay with him?"

The two were full of question marks, and they saw Lu Jiuchuan walking towards this side, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and pretending to say politely, "Mr. Shao, hello, I am Lu Jiuchuan, the leader of the Arrow Army."

Shao Qingge looked around and found that most of the guests' eyes were on His Royal Highness, and not many people paid attention to them, so he took a glass of wine and picked some food by the way, and came to the rest area on the side of the hall with Lu Jiuchuan , Sit down and talk while eating.

Lu Jiuchuan leaned into Shao Qingge's ear and asked, "Worm the insect is stuck in your hand?"

Shao Qingge also lowered his voice. "Well, if Mr. Tang's leg needs treatment, Ye Qi can use cards at any time. However, the royal palace is a card restriction area, and all cards cannot be activated after we come in."

Knowing the insect king card, and knowing that Tang Ci needs to treat his legs, it seems that this is really Shao Qingge.

Lu Jiuchuan was also very helpless. Now every time he sees a person, he must first determine the truth. He paused and asked doubtfully, "Tang Ci left a message on the phone at your residence. Didn't you hear it?"

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi glanced at each other, and Ye Qi said, "After we returned from Southern Cross, we rushed directly to the Imperial Palace for a birthday party. The time was too tight, and I didn't have time to go home. I didn't change my uniform. "

No wonder the two of them took the initiative to say hello to "Xiao Lou". It turned out that they didn't go home at all and did not hear Tang Ci's message.

Lu Jiuchuan leaned into their ears and whispered, "This Xiaolou is a copy, not a Xiaolou we know."

Ye Qi froze, "Restore, copy people?"

Shao Qingge frowned. "That means, according to Professor Xiao, who was copied?"

Lu Jiuchuan nodded. "Well, it's hard to tell from the outside."

Shao Qingge's eyes narrowed slightly. "No wonder, I always feel that something is wrong. When he looked at us, it was like the first time he met. His eyes were very strange."

Ye Qi looked around alertly and said, "Where is the real Xiao Lou? Isn't His Royal Highness called Xiao Lou? He didn't come to today's banquet?"

Lu Jiuchuan didn't know how to answer Ye Qi's three consecutive questions. He squeezed his brow in a headache and said, "Really Xiao Lou is with Han Jiang. To be precise, he should be smaller now. Here. Han Jiang was also at the banquet, but he borrowed my mask and pretended to be a soldier of the Royal Guard. I do n’t know which one. "

In order to ensure the safety of the dinner, the soldiers of the Royal Guard stood on the periphery. They were dressed in neat white military uniforms, and each was tall and tall. It was really not clear which one was camouflaged by Yu Hanjiang.

Shao Qingge said, "So, the theme of this secret room is ... replicating people?"

Lu Jiuchuan cursed lowly. "It is not clear yet. The gatekeeper issued a blank paper for us to answer the question without even giving the question. Fuck! I don't know what to solve."

Shao Qingge "..."

He stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, as if in deep contemplation.

A moment later, Shao Qingge suddenly said, "Yes, during my father's control of Noah Medical Technology, it seemed that he invested a lot of money to start the Noah's Ark Project. The core of this plan is the genetic experiment."

Lu Jiuchuan's eyes lit up. "Does your company participate in gene-related projects?"

Shao Qingge said, "It was 20 years ago, and I do n’t remember very well. Later, it was said that the experiment failed, and all relevant data and experiments have been destroyed. I will go back and check to see if there are any omissions. clue."

Ye Qi guessed, "Genetic experiments must be related to human cloning?"

Lu Jiuchuan looked at him "What do you think?"

Ye Qi whispered: "Don't anyone replicate a cloned sheep with a cell from the sheep? In theory, animal experiments can be successful, as can humans. If so, Professor Xiao's replicators may not only A. Noah ’s genetic experiment, named Noah ’s Ark Project, always feels weird. "

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and listened to Ye Qi ’s analysis there. The little guy was quite serious. “Noah ’s Ark is from the Bible. It is said to be a big ship built according to God ’s instructions. The purpose is to let Noah and his family And all kinds of creatures in the world can avoid a disaster. This is used to avoid disaster! "

He looked at Shao Qingge and said doubtfully, "Mr. Shao, your father ... that is, my nominal grandpa. Why did you start the Noah's Ark project? I think this must be the key clue."

Shao Qingge chuckled and patted his shoulder. "My son is so smart."

Lu Jiuchuan "............"

The three were talking, and they saw a young girl in a red evening dress walking in front of "Xiao Lou".

The girl's figure was excellent, and her red dress made her skin white and snowy, with a delicate makeup, it was very bright and moving. Among the female guests, her appearance and temperament are undoubtedly the most outstanding.

"Xiao Lou" smiled and nodded at her after seeing her, politely saying "Miss Lin."

Lu Jiuchuan held his arms and looked at the woman thoughtfully. "She is Lin Yan?"

Ye Qi wondered, "Who is Lin Yan?"

Lu Jiuchuan explained in a low voice, "It is said that he is the fiancee of His Royal Highness. Xiao Lou himself should not know her, but this replicator, is she familiar with her?"

At the next moment, His Royal Highness suddenly leaned over, took her hand very gentlemanly, and kissed gently on the back of her hand.

Lin Yan's face was a little red, and he looked up at him, full of admiration.

The handsome men and women stood really well together. His Royal Highness reached out his hand and Lin Yan gently took his arm.

Shao Qingge's good-looking expression "Are they engaged?"

Lu Jiuchuan said helplessly, "The marriage was decided when the queen was still there. I guess they should be officially married after this birthday? The prince is 24 years old and it is time to get married and participate in politics."

Shao Qingge seemed to laugh, "What should I do when Xiao Lou got married, would he let the copy person replace him when he got married? Can't we always use avatars for the wedding night?"

Lu Jiuchuan's helplessness is "unclear."

At this time, Yu Hanjiang looked at the "Xiao Lou" expressionlessly.

He held the girl's hand, smiled and greeted the guests, as if the woman standing beside him should be his princess. He was very considerate and tolerant of this girl, and his eyes were full of when she looked at her. tender.

Yu Hanjiang was very uncomfortable with this man's face against Xiao Lou and looked at a girl with tender eyes ...

This picture of "on the wrists of handsome men and beauties" is particularly dazzling.

Yu Hanjiang simply saw nothing, and quickly looked away.

It was Xiao Lou, who was lying on the edge of Yu Hanjiang's military uniform pocket at the moment, carefully observing the scene over there.

At the moment when he saw "Xiao Lou" reaching out and gently helping Lin Yan to pin the hair on the side of his ear behind his ear, he suddenly said in his mind, "Han Jiang, do you think something is wrong?"

Yu Hanjiang heard the familiar voice in his mind and immediately responded to "What's wrong?"

Xiao Loudao "If he just copied people, why should he contact my fiancee?"

Although Xiao Lou had no relationship with Lin Yan at all, nominally, Lin Yan was after all his fiancee and was officially engaged when the queen was still alive. The replicator should have the consciousness of replicator, how can he contact the Lord without authorization Fiancee? Still making such an intimate gesture in front of His Majesty?

Chapter 408

At this time, the double uterus.

Qu Wanyue used the "Chameleon Card" to integrate with the surrounding environment before entering the palace. The duration of this card is longer than the "invisible cloak", which is the most convenient for investigation.

She looked for Longsen's map of the Imperial Palace in advance, so she found Xiaolou's double wombs as soon as she entered the palace. This was also Xiaolou's arrangement.

Before the banquet started today, Xiao Lou made three arrangements.

First, according to the plot setting of the secret room, Tang Ci ’s legs were injured in the battle of the Hilte no man ’s land. Tang Ci was inconvenient to attend the dinner, and he could just go to the hospital for a detailed medical examination. His leg was injured, and his brain lost part of his memory. It was reasonable to go to the hospital for examination. By the way, he can also test whether he and Lu Jiuchuan have received hypnosis.

Second, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang came to the dinner party in good disguise. If someone came to assassinate the copy person, they would respond as soon as possible.

Thirdly, Qu Wanyue used the camouflage camouflage to stay near the double uterus. In case the other party wanted to assassinate not the one at the banquet site, but the Xiaolou of the double uterus, Qu Wanyue could also notify them immediately.

It was nine o'clock and Qu Wanyue was hiding near a stone pillar in front of her uterus.

There were not many soldiers patrolling around the double uterus. Most of the guards went to the dinner party to protect His Majesty and the prince. This side was relatively deserted. Only two soldiers stood straight at the door.

Qu Wanyue stared at the door for an hour, and there was no movement at the door. Just when she thought Professor Xiao was thinking about it, suddenly, the two soldiers at the door fell straight to the ground!

She saw nothing, and the two soldiers seemed to be blown down by the wind.

Qu Wanyue was terrified in her heart-the other party had the invisibility ability just like her, and must be invisible to attack the guards behind them! The man's shot was quick and accurate. Almost instantly, two guards with a height of more than 1.8 meters were directly laid to the ground.

The doors of the two uterus opened, as if a gust of wind blew in.

Qu Wanyue immediately followed.

The chameleon card not only allows her to integrate perfectly with the environment, but also increases the crawl speed to a certain extent.

Qu Wanyue crawled flexibly into the double uterus. The glass of a whole wall in the palace changed colors under the light, and the entire double uterus was empty like a maze. There seemed to be a shadow flashing ahead, and Qu Wanyue followed the shadow all the way forward. After passing through several corridors, the shadow came to a door and opened the door to enter the house.

-This should be the residence of Xiao Lou.

The shadow is here to kill Xiao Lou?

After a while, the other party seemed to realize that there was no one in the room and quickly opened the window and escaped. Since this person has no entity, Qu Wanyue does not know which direction he will flee.

Qu Wanyue left her twin wombs and quickly came to the banquet.

She used the card at the gate of the palace. She also saw Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou going outside the palace to use the card as a camouflage. She knew who Yu Hanjiang was posing as a soldier.

Qu Wanyue followed the wall to Yu Hanjiang's disguised soldiers and whispered "Yu team."

Yu Hanjiang nodded to confirm his identity.

Qu Wanyue said, "There was something wrong with the double uterus."

Yu Hanjiang also felt that something was not right ...

Did n’t His Majesty worry about the prince being assassinated and found a substitute for the birthday party? Why is there no movement here at the birthday party, but someone sneaked into the double uterus to assassinate Xiao Lou?

At the banquet, His Royal Highness toasted his fiancee with his fiancee. The host and the guests had a great conversation. The prince seemed to have fully integrated into the scene and completely forgot his identity as a replicator.

Yu Hanjiang saw him with stiff eyes that day, and behaved like a pet in front of His Majesty ...

The obedient copy person has disappeared completely.

At this time, he was only calm and confident in his eyes, and he looked comfortable with his politicians. He always kept a polite smile on his face, and the similarity with Xiao Lou himself was getting closer and closer to 100, as if he were His Royal Highness.

Yu Hanjiang's heart gradually grew uneasy.

This unrest also affected Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou asked uncertainly, "Is he really a copy?"

The scene of the banquet was very lively.

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that His Royal Highness's birthday dinner officially ended, and the guests were sent out of the palace in batches.

Yu Hanjiang's disguised guards took the initiative to send Shao Qingge.

Shao Qingge looked at the strange face around him and smiled, "Is it you?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded his head without saying much. After sending them out of the palace, Xiao Lou in his pocket only reached out his head and yelled "Little Leaf."

Ye Qi looked down and found Professor Xiao, the size of a thumb.

No one can have a Thumbelina card in this person's hand. This is the real Professor Xiao!

Ye Qi said with excitement, "Finally, I saw the genuine one! Professor Xiao, what exactly does that person want to do?"

Xiao Loudao "Time is running out, go talk to Taohuayuan."

Yu Hanjiang followed Shao Qingge on the suspension car, and Xiao Lou opened the Taohuayuan in the suspension car and directly summoned all his teammates.

Soon, eight people gathered under the peach blossom tree-there are still no Liu Qiao, Lao Mo, Gui Senior and Chu Huaying.

All the eight people currently in the Capital Star are here.

Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou out of his pocket and held it in his palm.

Xiao Lou asked Qu Wanyue, "Teacher Qu, what do you see?"

Qu Wanyue said nervously, "Someone sneaked into the double uterus, and the guard at the door was knocked down instantly. He has invisibility, but a ghost image appears when illuminated by strong light. Judging from the shadow, it should be around 180 Male. "

Xiao Lou nodded. "What about Lin Yan? When was the first time she met the prince?"

Qu Wanyue said, "I pretended to ask her about this matter pretendingly. She said that at the age of 16, her mother had negotiated with the queen, and then with the consent of Her Majesty and General Lin, she ordered this marriage. She I met my highness when I was engaged, and I fell in love with my highness. "

Xiao Lou's complexion became more and more ugly.

Yu Hanjiang asked softly, "When you were 16 years old, I should have been studying in the military academy and did not formally join the Royal Guard. Did you know the engagement banquet that year?"

Xiao Lou shook his head. "I haven't attended any engagement party at all."

Teammates looked at each other.

Shao Qingge came over and smiled and joked, "Is your father too nervous? Even if you are afraid of being assassinated, you will not let the copycat attend the engagement banquet? Is it necessary for the Dongfang Huadeng, marriage, and children Instead of you?"

Xiao Lou was silent for a moment, and said softly, "There is only one explanation."

The teammates all looked at Xiao Xiaolou in Yu Hanjiang's palm.

The next moment, I heard him calmly say, "I am the copy."
