Card Room - 287. No. 409-410

【Chapter 409, Banquet】

The birthday banquet of the prince officially begins at 8 o’clock in the evening.

Yu Hanjiang led Xiaolou into the banquet hall and, like the other guards, stood silently in the corner of the hall, trying to minimize his presence.

His gaze swept across the audience, and quickly locked the “Xiao Lou” and His Majesty in the crowd.

This birthday party did not invite official media reports. It is equivalent to a private 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 they are dressed in formal, male guests. They were all suits or military uniforms. In addition to the official suits, the female guests and the family members wore evening gowns.

His Majesty said a few words, and then asked the prince to come forward.

The prince who was exactly the same as Xiao Lou walked to the stage and smiled slightly at the guests in the hall. A clear voice sounded in the whole banquet hall: “Thank you very much, all the guests, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my 25th birthday party. I am extremely honored to meet all the distinguished guests on such an occasion. I hope that I will have more opportunities to learn and communicate with you in the future…”

He is wearing a white royal dress today, smiling all the time when talking, looking personable and calm. The young prince did not have the arrogance above the top, but was humble and polite, which made people feel kind and gentle.

The handsome prince stood on the stage and talked freely. His outstanding temperament attracted the attention of the guests almost instantly. Many young ladies even blushed uncontrollably when they met his gaze.

Yu Hanjiang stared at the people 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 attended today’s banquet in person and gave a speech on stage, he would definitely be more attractive than the person in front of him. After all, Xiao Lou is a university professor in reality, and often teaches public classes to hundreds of students.

However, objectively speaking, the copyist has performed very well.

At least most of the officials in the audience were admiring, and his Majesty seemed very satisfied with him.

The prince finished his speech, and there was a warm applause.

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

His Majesty took him to and fro in the banquet hall and greeted several generals in the military department first.

The marshal of the empire was named Ye Ming. He was 66 years old this year. His hair was gray, but the old marshal still looked vigorous in his military uniform. The three “admiral”-level senior officers, named Lin Zecheng, Farrell, and Ace, wore pure black, dark blue, and army green uniforms.

There is no distinction between sea, land, and air force in the military department of the Loco Empire. It is divided into military regions, probably because this era is no longer naval and air combat. Most of the battles are in the interstellar, requiring highly intelligent fighter armor.

Marshal Ye Ming is the supreme power in the Imperial Army, and the remaining three generals are in charge of the southern, eastern, and northwestern military districts of the empire. The Arrow Army led by Lu Jiuchuan belongs to the Southern Military Region, and its immediate superior is General Lin Zecheng, the biological father of the prince’s fiancee, Miss Lin Yan.

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

Lu Jiuchuan followed General Lin, stretched out his hand towards “Xiao Lou”, and said, “His Royal Highness, happy birthday.”

General Lin introduced: “This is Major General Lu Jiuchuan of the Arrow Army.”

The prince nodded, and when he shook hands with Lu Jiuchuan, a polite smile appeared on his face: “It turns out to be General Lu, who has been admired for a long time. I heard that General Lu is the youngest major general in the military? He is really young and promising. ”

Lu Jiuchuan withdrew his hand: “His Royal Highness has awarded it.”

Had it not been for Yu Hanjiang to greet him in advance, saying that Xiao Lou had a copy in the palace, Lu Jiuchuan would almost have not figured it out—it was so alike.

The appearance and figure are 100% reproduced, and even the smile seems to be moved from Xiaolou’s face!

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt wrong. The “Xiao Lou” in front of him looked at Lu Jiuchuan without the slightest sense of intimacy. When the real Xiao Lou saw Lu Jiuchuan, even if it was inconvenient to call “Brother Nine” in public, his eyes should not be so strange.

It was obviously the first time he met Lu Jiuchuan, and his attitude was polite and polite, and there was also a slight estrangement.

After greeting Lu Jiuchuan, he continued to greet other military generals.

Lu Jiuchuan looked back at his back and stroked his chin thoughtfully. Just about to turn around to inform Shao Qingge, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi took the initiative to come over here.

Shao Qingge stretched out his hand and said with a smile: “His Royal Highness, happy birthday. Today’s His Royal Highness is really extraordinary and admirable.” The smiled appearance of President Shao is obviously playing Xiaolou.

Xiao Lou was not in a hurry to stretch out his hand, but smiled and looked at Shao Qingge, until the concierge next to him whispered in his ear: “This is Mr. Shao Qingge, the vice chairman of the Imperial Business Alliance.”

Xiao Lou then stretched out his hand, shook Shao Qingge gently, and put it back: “Mr. Shao, Yang Yang.”

Shao Qingge: “??”

Why, this is not a recognition anymore?

Ye Qi, who followed behind him, also walked to Xiao Lou: “Hi, Your Royal Highness!”

Xiao Lou was puzzled: “This one is?”

Ye Qi was stunned, looking at Xiao Lou seriously, as if saying: Professor Xiao, it’s me! Don’t you know me after I wear a military uniform? However, Xiao Lou didn’t react to his gaze.

Shao Qingge noticed something was wrong, and lightly wrapped Ye Qi’s shoulders and introduced: “His Royal Highness laughed. This is my son, Shao Yeqi, who has always admired His Royal Highness, so I will bring him to see you in person.”

Xiao Lou smiled at Ye Qi, his eyes gentle: “Mr. Shao’s son, is a student of the Ninth Military Academy?” He clearly saw that Ye Qi’s uniform belonged to the Ninth Military Academy.

Shao Qingge said, “Well, I just finished my freshman year this year.”

Xiao Lou said admiringly: “The Ninth Military Academy is notoriously difficult to test. Mr. Shao is really a tiger father without a dog.”

Ye Qi: “???”

Listening to the conversation between Shao Qingge and Xiao Lou, Ye Qi also gradually realized that something was wrong. He stepped back blankly, and then saw Xiao Lou walking by himself in front of him and Shao Qingge, continuing to greet other guests.

Ye Qi clings to Shao Qingge’s ear: “Does he not recognize me?”

Shao Qingge raised his eyebrows: “Don’t know me either-this Xiaolou has a problem.”

Ye Qi’s face was confused: “Did he lose his memory? Why doesn’t Team Yu stay with him?”

The two of them were full of question marks when they saw Lu Jiuchuan approaching here, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and pretending to say politely: “Mr. Shao, hello, I am Lu Jiuchuan, the head of the Arrow Army Corps.”

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 also took a glass of wine, picked some food by the way, and went to the rest area on the side of the hall with Lu Jiuchuan. , Sit down and talk while eating.

Lu Jiuchuan approached Shao Qingge’s ear and asked, “Insect King is stuck in your hands?”

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

Knowing the Chongwang Card, and also knowing that Tang Ci needs to treat his legs, it seems that this is true Shao Qingge.

Lu Jiuchuan was also very helpless, and now every time he sees a person, he must first determine the true and false. He paused and asked suspiciously: “Tang Ci left a message on the phone of your residence, didn’t you hear it?”

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi looked at each other. Ye Qi said: “After we came back from the Southern Cross, we rushed to the Imperial Palace for the 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 turns out that they didn’t go home at all and didn’t hear Tang Ci’s message.

Lu Jiuchuan leaned into the ears of the two of them and whispered: “This Xiao Lou is a copy, not the Xiao Lou we know.”

Ye Qi was stunned: “Replicating or duplicating people?”

Shao Qingge frowned: “It means, according to Professor Xiao’s appearance, someone copied?”

Lu Jiuchuan nodded: “Well, it’s hard to tell from the outside.”

Shao Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly: “No wonder, I always feel something is wrong. When he looks at us, it’s like the first time we meet, his eyes are 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 pinched his eyebrows with a headache, and said, “It’s true that Xiao Lou is with Han Jiang. To be precise, he should be smaller now and hid in Han Jiang. In his pocket. Han Jiang was also at the banquet, but he borrowed my mask and disguised himself as a soldier in the Royal Guard. I don’t know which one it was.”

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 uniforms. Each one was tall and straight. It was really unclear which one was disguised by Yu Hanjiang.

Shao Qingge said: “So, the theme of this secret room is…replicating people?”

Lu Jiuchuan cursed in a low voice: “It’s still unclear. The gatekeeper sent us a blank paper for us to answer the questions, not even the questions. Fuck! I don’t know what to solve the puzzle.”

Shao Qingge: “…”

He reached out and held his temple, seeming to be lost in thought.

After a while, Shao Qingge suddenly said, “By the way, when my father was in charge of Noah Medical Technology Company, he seemed to have invested a lot of money to start the Noah’s Ark Project. The core of this plan is genetic experiments.”

Lu Jiuchuan’s eyes flashed: “Does your company participate in gene-related projects?”

Shao Qingge said: “That was 20 years ago. I don’t remember it very clearly. Later, it was said that the experiment failed. All relevant data and experimental products have been destroyed. I will check again to see if there are any omissions. Clues.”

Ye Qi guessed: “The genetic experiment must be related to human cloning, right?”

Lu Jiuchuan looked at him: “What do you think?”

Ye Qi said softly: “Did someone use a cell from a sheep to make a cloned sheep? In theory, animal experiments can be successful, and so can humans. If this is the case, Professor Xiao’s copy may be possible. There is more than one. Noah’s genetic experiment, named Noah’s Ark Project, always feels weird.”

Shao Qingge squinted his eyes and listened to Ye Qi’s analysis there. The little guy analyzed it very seriously: “Noah’s Ark comes from the Bible. It is said to be a big ship built according to God’s instructions. Family members and various creatures in the world can avoid a disaster. This is for avoiding disasters!”

He looked at Shao Qingge and said puzzledly: “President Shao, your father…that is, my titular grandfather, why did you start the Noah’s Ark Project? I think this must be the key clue.”

Shao Qingge smiled and patted him on the shoulder: “My son is so smart.”

Lu Jiuchuan: “…”

The three were chatting when they saw a young girl in a red evening dress walking up to “Xiao Lou”.

The girl has a very good figure. The red dress makes her skin white as snow. With delicate makeup, she is very bright and moving. Among the female guests, her appearance and temperament are undoubtedly the most outstanding.

After seeing her, “Xiao Lou” smiled and nodded at her, and said politely: “Miss Lin.”

Lu Jiuchuan hugged his arms and looked at the woman thoughtfully: “Is she Lin Yan?”

Ye Qi wondered: “Who is Lin Yan?”

Lu Jiuchuan explained in a low voice: “It is said that she is the fiancee of His Royal Highness. Xiao Lou probably doesn’t know her personally, but does this cloner know her very well?”

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

Lin Yan’s face was a little red, and her eyes were full of admiration when she raised her head to look at him.

The handsome men and beautiful women are indeed a good match when standing together, His Highness stretched out his hand, and Lin Yan gently took his arm.

Shao Qingge looked at the show with a good expression: “Are they engaged?”

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

Shao Qingge smiled but didn’t smile: “So what should Xiao Lou do when he gets married? Should he be replaced by a copy when he gets married? You can’t always use a substitute on the wedding night, right?”

Lu Jiuchuan had no choice but to help his forehead: “I don’t know.”

At this moment, Yu Hanjiang looked at the “Xiao Lou” with no expression on his face.

He held the girl by the hand, smiled and greeted the guests, as if the woman standing next to him should be his prince and concubine. He was very considerate and tolerant of this girl, and his eyes were full when he looked at her. gentle.

Yu Hanjiang is very uncomfortable with this person, holding Xiao Lou’s face, and looking at a girl with gentle eyes…

This “good-looking man and beautiful woman on the wrist” picture is particularly dazzling.

Yu Hanjiang simply turned away from sight, and quickly looked away.

On the contrary, Xiao Lou was lying on the edge of Yu Hanjiang’s military uniform pocket, carefully observing the scene there.

At the moment when he saw “Xiao Lou” stretch out his hand and gently help Lin Yan 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?”

When Yu Hanjiang heard the familiar voice in his mind, he immediately responded: “What’s the matter?”

Xiao Lou said: “If he is just a copy, why should he contact my fiancée?”

Although Xiao Lou and Lin Yan have no relationship at all, but in name, Lin Yan is his fiancée after all, who was formally engaged when the queen was still alive. The copy should have the consciousness of copying, how can he contact the master without authorization Fiancée? Still in front of your majesty, making such an intimate move?

【Chapter 408, the accident of the double uterus】

At this time, the uterus is outside.

Qu Wanyue used the “Chameleon Card” to integrate with the surrounding environment long before entering the palace. This card lasts longer than the “Invisibility Cloak” and is the most convenient for investigation.

She asked Long Sen in advance for the map of the imperial palace, so she found Xiao Lou’s residence Gemini as soon as she entered the palace. This was also Xiao Lou’s arrangement.

Before the dinner started today, Xiao Lou made three layouts.

First, according to the plot setting of this secret room, Tang Ci’s legs were injured in the previous battle in the Hilt No Man’s Land. Tang Ci was not convenient to attend the dinner party, so he could go to the hospital for a detailed medical examination. His leg was injured and his brain lost part of his memory. It is reasonable to go to the hospital for an examination. By the way, I can also test whether he and Lu Jiuchuan have undergone hypnotism.

Second, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang came to the dinner party in disguise, and if someone came to assassinate the clone, they could also respond immediately.

Third, Qu Wanyue used the disguise of a chameleon card to guard near Gemini. In case the other party wanted to assassinate not the one at the banquet, but the Xiaolou of Gemini, Qu Wanyue could also notify them as soon as possible.

It was nine o’clock, Qu Wanyue hid near a stone pillar in front of her twin wombs.

There were not many soldiers patrolling around the Gemini. Most of the guards went to the dinner to protect his majesty and prince. This side seemed relatively deserted, with only two soldiers standing straight at the door.

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

She didn’t see anything, and the two soldiers seemed to have been blown down by the wind.

Qu Wanyue was horrified—the other party had the same invisibility ability as her, and he must have hidden behind the guards and attacked them! This person shot quickly and accurately, and almost instantly, two guards over 1.8 meters tall were put directly on the ground.

The door to Gemini opened, like a gust of wind blowing in.

Qu Wanyue immediately followed.

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

Qu Wanyue crawled into the Gemini flexibly. The glass on a whole wall of the palace changed colors under the light, and the Gemini was empty like a maze. There seemed to be a shadow flashing in front of him. Qu Wanyue followed the shadow all the way forward. After passing a few corridors, the shadow came to a door and opened the door to enter the house.

——This should be Xiao Lou’s residence.

Is the shadow here to kill Xiao Lou?

After a while, the other party seemed to notice that there was no one in the house, and quickly opened the window and escaped. Since this person has no entity, Qu Wanyue didn’t know which way he would escape.

Qu Wanyue left the Gemini and quickly came to the banquet scene.

She used cards at the gate of the palace, and saw Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou go outside the palace to use cards as a disguise. She knew who Yu Hanjiang was disguising as a soldier.

Qu Wanyue walked along the wall to behind Yu Hanjiang’s disguised soldier, and whispered: “Team Yu.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded to confirm his identity.

Qu Wanyue said: “There is something wrong with the uterus.”

Yu Hanjiang also feels that this is not quite right…

Isn’t it because your Majesty was worried that the prince would be assassinated, so he found a stand-in to attend the birthday party? Why is there no movement at the birthday party, but someone sneaked into the Gemini and wanted to assassinate Xiao Lou?

At the banquet, His Royal Highness brought his fiancee around to toast. The host and the guests had a very happy conversation. The prince seemed to have completely integrated into the scene and completely forgot his identity as a clone.

Yu Hanjiang saw him with dull eyes that day, as obediently as a pet in front of His Majesty…

Such obedient clones have completely disappeared.

At this time, he only had calmness and self-confidence in his eyes. When he talked with politicians, he looked calm and kept a polite smile on his face. The similarity with Xiao Lou himself was getting closer and closer to 100%, as if he was talented. He is the real prince.

Yu Hanjiang’s heart gradually became a little uneasy.

This kind of anxiety also affected Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou asked uncertainly: “Is he really a clone?”

The banquet scene was very lively.

It wasn’t until ten o’clock in the evening that the birthday dinner of His Royal Highness was officially over, and the guests were sent out of the palace in batches.

The guards disguised as Yu Hanjiang took the initiative to send Shao Qingge off.

Shao Qingge looked at the strange face beside him and smiled: “Is that you?”

Yu Hanjiang nodded and said nothing. After sending them out of the palace, Xiao Lou in Yu Hanjiang’s pocket poked his head out and whispered, “Xiaoye.”

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

No one else can have a Thumbelina card, this is the real Professor Xiao!

Ye Qi said excitedly: “I finally saw the original version! Professor Xiao, what exactly does that person want to do?”

Xiao Lou said: “Time is running out, go to Peach Blossom Spring to chat.”

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

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

All the 8 people currently in 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 did you see?”

Qu Wanyue said nervously: “Someone sneaked into the Gemini, and the guard at the door was instantly knocked down. He has the ability to be invisible, but a ghost appears when illuminated by strong light. Judging by the shadow, he should be 180 in height. Men around.”

Xiao Lou nodded: “Where is Lin Yan? When was the first time she met the prince?”

Qu Wanyue said: “I pretended to be concerned about asking her about this before. She said that when she was sixteen, her mother had discussed with the queen, and with the consent of her Majesty and General Lin, the marriage was booked. She met His Royal Highness when she was engaged, and fell in love with His Royal Highness at first sight.”

Xiao Lou’s face became more and more ugly.

Yu Hanjiang asked softly: “When you were sixteen, I should have been studying in a military school and didn’t formally join the Royal Guard. Do you know the engagement banquet back then?”

Xiao Lou shook his head: “I haven’t attended any engagement banquet at all.”

The teammates looked at each other.

Shao Qingge leaned over and joked with a smile: “Is your father overly nervous? Even if you are afraid that you will be assassinated, you shouldn’t let the copy of the engagement banquet be present? Will it be the same for weddings, weddings and children in the future? Replace you?”

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

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

The next moment, I listened to him calmly say: “I am a clone.”
