1009. Accusation
Obi-Wan-Kenobi walked quickly in the vast and bright hall of Jedi Temple. The coarse cloth cloak on his body was still full of scorch marks and dust left on the battlefield.
Jedi Knight and the apprentices along the way saw his beggar-like appearance and did not dislike him at all. On the contrary, they all looked at him with respect.
Every Jedi Knight who goes to the battlefield and fights bravely for Galactic Republic is an elder worthy of respect.
He went straight to the top floor of Jedi Temple, but as soon as he got off the elevator, he was blocked by a Jedi Knight. He bowed politely and said, "Dear Obi-Wan-Master Kenobi... Master Windu is having a meeting in the conference hall. It is inconvenient to disturb him at the moment."
Obi-Wan-Kenobi frowned, "What about Master Yoda?"
"Master Yoda just led the troops to go on an expedition." Jedi Knight said calmly.
"Then I'll wait here." Obi-Wan said.
"Please." Jedi Knight spread his hands and saluted, but his feet did not move at all and were still blocking the road.
Obi-Wan-Kenobi was anxious, but had no choice but to pace back and forth in the corridor.
After about half an hour, Obi-Wan heard a soft knock from the door of the conference hall. He quickly walked over, and the gatekeeper Jedi Knight stopped blocking him. When he came to the door of the conference hall, he saw Mace-Master Windu opening the door and coming out.
Obi-Wan-Kenobi said eagerly, "Master Windu, I have very important things to report to you. Many things... Dawn Star Planet, Speaker... etc."
Before Master Windu could speak, Obi-Wan heard a gentle voice coming from behind Master Windu, "Ah, it's Master Obi-Wan. I seem to hear that you want to see me for something?"
Obi-Wan-Kenobi looked up, only to see Chancellor of the Galactic Republic Sheev-Palpatine standing inside the conference hall. It turned out that it was him who was having a meeting with Master Windu just now!
Looking at the old man with a kind face in front of him, but because he has been in a high position for a long time, he has an aura of calm and self-restraint between his eyebrows. Obi-Wan-Kenobi cannot connect him with a Sith Lord.
But thinking about Tang Xiao... he found that he was also completely unable to connect Tang Xiao and Sith Lord, and his confidence was shaken. When he looked at Sheev-Palpatine, the haze in his heart could no longer go away.
"Master Obi-Wan?" Sheev-Palpatine saw that Obi-Wan didn't speak and just stared at him, so he smiled and asked again.
"No matter what you are thinking, Obi-Wan, staring at His Excellency the Chancellor is a very rude thing." Master Windu said.
Obi-Wan-Kenobi woke up from a dream, quickly stood aside to make way, and bowed with his hands on his chest, "I was rash, His Excellency the Chancellor. I was a little distracted because I was eager to report the battlefield situation to Master Windu."
"Things like being distracted shouldn't happen to an Jedi Knight, let alone Master Obi-Wan." Master Windu was as stern as ever.
"Oh, I guess he can't be blamed. After all, the news from Malastare was not very good. We all thought you had been sacrificed for a time, Master Obi-Wan. Now, I think you should go back and have a good rest. Next, we still have too many enemies to fight against." Palpatine finished with a smile, nodded to Master Windu, and then turned and left.
"You have something to say to me." Master Windu waited until Palpatine walked away, then said seriously to Obi-Wan, "But you should not show your emotions in front of the Speaker, as this will make us passive."
"Yes." Obi-Wan bowed his head and accepted the instruction.
Master Windu then brought Obi-Wan into the meeting hall, closed the door, and turned on signal blocking to isolate all sounds and signals inside.
Obi-Wan took a deep breath, and then said, "I learned the true identities of the hidden Sith Lord, Archangel of Death. He is, Governor of Dawn Star Planet, Tang Xiao."
Master Windu frowned, "Are you sure it's Tang Xiao? This is... very incredible information, but if you think about it carefully, it seems logical."
He thought for a while and said, "This matter can only be spread among Jedi Order High Council for the time being. I will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss how to deal with Archangel of Death."
Like Archangel of Death's judgment, Jedi Order will not let this news spread. Obi-Wan sighed in his heart, the one who knows you best will always be your enemy.
Things will not change at all...Obi-Wan suddenly figured out why Archangel of Death would tell him this so openly.
"Our policy should not change, but this is still a vital piece of information, Master Obi-Wan. I sincerely thank you for your sacrifice and your bravery." Sure enough, Master Windu also said the same, "But to defeat Archangel of Death, we can only proceed step by step according to the established plan. If he has been hiding in Dawn Star Planet, we have no way to assassinate him."
Master Windu shook his head, "Master Yoda has led the fleet to take the initiative, and the target is Dawn Star Planet. Because from the beginning of the war to now, The threat Dawn Star Planet poses to us is second only to General Grievous. Now that I think about it, since Tang Xiao is Archangel of Death, this is not so difficult to understand."
Obi-Wan continued, "There is another news, but this news is very serious, and I can't be sure of the authenticity of the news... But, if this is true... maybe, this will be an earth-shaking change."
Master Windu looked solemn, "I believe that if it wasn't a really terrible thing, you wouldn't use such a serious description."
"The news came from Archangel of Death. He told me that his master is Das-Pregas. And Das-Pregas's other identity is Hego-Damask II, who was once the co-chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. At the same time, Das-Pregas actually has two apprentices. In addition to Archangel of Death, there is another one - Das-Sidious, "Obi-Wan-Kenobi said.
Master Windu's fists were clenched tightly, and it was obvious that he was going through a storm in his heart.
Obi-Wan-Kenobi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "And Das-Sidious is... it is Sheev-Palpatine."
At this moment, Obi-Wan-Kenobi seemed to feel that there was an abnormal tsunami in Master Windu's terrifyingly powerful the Force! The entire chamber trembled under his the Force!
"This is a very, very serious accusation. It will even affect Galactic Republic and the very foundation of our Jedi Order existence! Then, tell me again what you want to say." Master Windu's voice even trembled.
