My Empire of Stars

Chapter 45 Meeting Again After Several Years

Inside the green brick, Li Mingze was lying on the sofa, holding Xiaosha in his arms, and two maids were feeding him watermelon one spoonful at a time.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Royal Guards have captured a smuggled spaceship in the New Home Galaxy." An officer appeared on the screen beside him. It was the black-faced middle-aged officer who interrogated Li Jialu and others in the isolation room.

Li Mingze leisurely spit the watermelon seeds into the jade hand held out by the maid, chewing the newly stuffed watermelon in his mouth: "Oh? Where did the smuggled spaceship come from? Is there a new civilization?"

"Your Majesty, there are four of them in total, claiming that they are from Earth, but we do not rule out that they are spies created by a hidden civilization using genetic technology." The black-faced officer reported respectfully.

With a puff, Li Mingze sprayed the watermelon in his mouth all over the floor. The maid next to him hurriedly came over with a towel to wipe it clean.

"Where did it come from! Say it again!" Li Mingze stood up, and his emotions were obviously a little excited.

"Your Majesty, they said they came from Earth."

"Ahem, they came from Earth, interesting." Li Mingze coughed twice and pretended to be calm.

"Where are they now?"

"In the Empire Prison No. 1"

"Bring them to see me tomorrow." Li Mingze looked forward to the meeting tomorrow.

As soon as the sky was light, Li Jialu and the other four people in the prison were ordered by several female prison guards to take off their clothes in the cell (separated room) and put on tight white uniforms to prevent anyone from carrying weapons.

Li Jialu and others walked to the top floor of the prison, and a transparent escort spaceship slowly descended. The crystal-like outer wall opened downwards, and a ladder was extended. Everyone boarded the spaceship one by one.

Driven by the anti-gravity engine, the spaceship shuttled through the tall buildings.

From time to time, everyone could see a picture of a heroic young man wearing black and gold armor, holding a scepter, and looking up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle on the holographic screen of the building. Below the portrait was a subtitle of loyalty to the empire and loyalty to the great majesty.

Soon the spaceship approached the tallest building in the entire city. In the square in front of this huge silver-white building that pierced the sky like a three-edged military bayonet, Li Jialu and others saw another silver statue hundreds of meters high.

The young man in the statue had a handsome big hair, wore a mighty armor, put his hands on the scepter standing in front of him, and stared sharply into the distance.

Li Jialu inexplicably felt that the statue was very familiar, but couldn't tell. After all, Li Mingze's temperament after five years of emperor career is completely different from before, and his figure is taller and stronger than when he was a student. Moreover, Li Mingze in the statue not only reveals a strong confidence, but also full of murderous aura.

The sightseeing spaceship soon stopped on the blue brick apron. Li Jialu and others were removed from the handcuffs and put on something like a necklace. This is a device specially prepared by Tianyi to protect Li Mingze's safety. If there is any improper behavior under her monitoring, the necklace will instantly release high voltage electricity and neurotoxins, quickly making people lose their ability to move.

After the scan in front of the gate confirmed that they were safe, they came to the blue brick hall. Twenty guards in black armor were already waiting on both sides of the hall. After Li Jialu and others came, they sandwiched the four people in the middle and walked towards the meeting hall.

The meeting hall is located on the first floor of the blue brick. It is a hall hundreds of meters long, more than ten meters wide and high. Opposite the gate is a three-meter-high platform. Go up the stairs and there is a huge throne on the platform. A large number of silver metal carvings are decorated around the throne. Make the throne luxurious and solemn.

Li Mingze is making a fist with one hand, supporting his forehead with his fist and resting his elbow on his knee, pretending to be a thinker. That's right, he is pretending to be deep. He wants to fool these people into becoming his vanguard to rule the earth!

Li Jialu and others came to the door of the meeting hall. The two guards on both sides of the gate slowly opened the huge metal door. Twenty guards entered the hall first, and then stood in two teams. The four of them walked slowly into the hall under the watchful eyes of the guards. As soon as they stepped into the hall, they heard a bang and the door behind them was tightly closed. The whole hall was empty as if only the four of them were left.

"Are you from Earth?" A dull voice sounded in front of the crowd. Because there was no light, the hall seemed a little dim. A few people could only vaguely see a man in armor sitting on a huge throne. It must be the emperor of this powerful empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are from the distant Earth. Well, we come with good intentions." Li Jialu stepped forward and knelt on one knee and said. After all, this is someone else's territory. No matter what etiquette they have, follow the Earth first.

The other people also knelt on one knee, fearing that they would be dragged down and shot for some crime of contempt for the emperor if they were a step slower.

At this time, Li Mingze, who was sitting on the throne and pretending to be cool, was also a little confused. This voice was so familiar, and the more he thought about it, the more familiar it became!

"The one who spoke, raise your head." As soon as the voice fell, the lights in the hall immediately brightened up and everyone couldn't open their eyes.

Li Jialu raised her head slowly with a nervous mood.

Li Mingze, who was sitting on the throne, almost choked to death. Wasn't this Li Jialu whom he confessed to before traveling through time? At that time, he confessed to her for the purpose of getting familiar with her. He knew he would be rejected, but he didn't take it seriously. How could it be such a coincidence that they could meet each other after traveling across light years?

At this time, Li Jialu's brain was blank. Why does this person look so much like Li Mingze? Didn't he disappear? Didn't he commit suicide for love? How did he become an alien emperor? He must just look like him, for sure! Li Jialu hypnotized herself and didn't dare to look directly at him for a long time and lowered her head.

Li Mingze returned to his icy face without a trace and asked:

"How did you get here from Earth? Does Earth have superluminal technology?" He was very curious now. With Earth's technology, it would take at least dozens or hundreds of years to have superluminal technology. Li Jialu looked only a few years older. Could it be that after he traveled through time, Earth's technology developed rapidly and even life span could be extended?

"Your Majesty, we found a damaged alien spaceship in the orbit of a star. When we went to salvage it, we accidentally activated a device and were sent here." Li Jialu didn't dare to ask if it was Li Mingze. He could only put the question in his stomach and answered honestly.

"Got it. Go down. The Empire will arrange a place for you to live and give you freedom, but it will be freedom under the Empire's surveillance." The few people were overjoyed to hear that they were going to regain their freedom. They didn't care whether it was freedom under surveillance or not. They didn't expect to be free so easily when they came.

"Okay, go down." Li Mingze waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The few people thanked him sincerely at this time.

"Also, the girl stays." Li Mingze said after a mental struggle. He didn't know that these words fell into the ears of the other people.

The three of them looked at Li Jialu with strange eyes and walked out helplessly, shaking their heads from time to time with regret. Such a good earth cabbage was going to be taken by alien pigs.

If Li Mingze could read minds, these people would definitely not know how many times they died.

Creaking, after everyone left, the door of the hall closed together. The sound of the door closing stimulated Li Jialu to tremble violently,
