958. Freedom and power

According to the original plan, Ainlee-Tim should have left on the spaceship the day after tomorrow, but just an hour ago, an urgent message came from Malastare, and Jedi Knight had already noticed their plan.

So Ainlee-Tim quickly and quietly exited Senate Chamber under the leadership of the bodyguards and sneaked away through the back door.

Almost less than half an hour after he left, Galactic Republic agents came to Galaxy Senate Chamber, and then quietly searched the venue without attracting the attention of other congressmen, but returned without success.

After receiving the news, Ainlee-Tim felt even more frightened and said to the bodyguard, "Contact Governor Tang quickly. 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 secretly tracking and sniping.

Moreover, Ainlee-Tim has been in Coruscant's political arena for many years, so naturally he has great hands and eyes, and soon a large amount of information was gathered.

"Senator, three teams of the Security Bureau troops are already 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, although Gran looks naive, in fact they 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 vision and are very sensitive to light. They can even see infrared rays directly!

Therefore, Gran is also one of the few intelligent creatures that evolved from pure herbivorous creatures, relying on their incredible eyesight.

Therefore, a well-trained Gran warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles is actually very scary, because their sight has almost no blind spots and they can see very small things. Although for the generally docile Gran, such a warrior is not easy to cultivate.

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 the betrayal of Malastare in the parliament."

"Betrayal!" Ainlee-Tim waved their fists fiercely, "Palpatine actually has the nerve to say the word betrayal in front of me! Every time, every time! He is betraying me! Betraying us Gran!"

"Dawn Star Planet has intelligence personnel coming 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?" Ainlee-Tim's face darkened.

As powerful as he is, as noble as he is, he has never set foot below the fifth underground floor of Coruscant. To him, those places are all disgusting slums.

"This is the only way. And we, as Gran, are too conspicuous now. Dawn Star Planet's intelligence agents are human beings, and they are more convenient to hide." The bodyguard said, "If necessary, we would rather all rush forward to fight the Galactic Republic defenders before sending you out."

Ainlee-Tim nodded, followed the bodyguard's instructions, took off his clothes, and then put them on another bodyguard. He himself wore a thick and concealing robe, left quietly, and got into a Speeder.

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 Security Bureau troops and intelligence personnel riding flying motorcycles were seen gathering in that direction.

Taking this opportunity, Ainlee-Tim quickly left here under the protection of bodyguards and fled towards the lower level.

Arriving at the predetermined location, a Gran bodyguard who was on guard at the perimeter suddenly heard a voice behind him whispering, "Listen, don't wander around... The entire Coruscant is looking for you now. The influence of your congressmen is too great, and Palpatine is very determined."

The bodyguard was shocked and shocked!

You must know that he is Gran! Someone can 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, Codename 007, Dawn Star Planet came to contact us. Next, I suggest that our team take over the protection and transfer of Senator. If you Gran are too concentrated, the target will be too big."

Gran The bodyguard asked, "How do you want to 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 asked for instructions from Ainlee-Tim himself, then shook his head and said, "No, we can't completely trust you. Therefore, we will continue to protect Senator around. 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 floor underground, and there will be a garbage spacecraft over there that 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 Ainlee-Tim for a while, then nodded and said, "Then let's leave as soon as possible!"

"Ainlee-Senator Tim, we must bring him out. Your Majesty the Governor, this matter is very important." Count Dooku said seriously.

"I have sent my best intelligence agents to respond. I hope there will be no accidents this time." Tang Xiao was holding a glass of wine in his hand, his expression also very serious. "However, Sheev-Palpatine immediately announced the arrest of Ainlee-Tim in the parliament. It is really rare for him to be so decisive."

"Palpatine is our great enemy. His decisiveness can be said to be very strong." Count Dooku shook his head. "Senator Tim has a very high reputation in the parliament. We urgently need people like him to further expand Confederacy of Independent Systems's political influence."

They are now in the restaurants of Laxus Sub-planet and Confederate Congress.

"I heard that Ryloth's MP Orn Free-Ta rejected your invitation and then established Tusken's government-in-exile in Coruscant?" Tang Xiao asked, changing the subject.

"His loyalty to Palpatine is very firm. In the last election of Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, it was Orn Free Tower's betrayal on the battlefield that contributed to the election of Rim Faction Senator Collapse, and Palpatine's rise to power. It is impossible for him to lose such a large amount of political capital, even at the cost of Tusken's entire race," Count Dooku said.

"If this is the case, we need Ainlee-Tim even more. With him speaking out for us, we should be able to stabilize the government's support rate, which has been falling recently." Tang Xiao said.

Count Dooku said with a cold smile, "I have to say that when we risked our lives to fight for the freedom of the Outer Rim people, and we were winning every step of the way, there were always people who would jump out and say that we should not fight this war, and that the burden the war placed on them was too heavy... This really chills me."

Tang Xiao smiled slightly, "Because we are just a Confederacy of Independent Systems, not even the Federation."

"Oh? So what do you think?" Count Dooku turned around and asked.

"If it were 'Galactic 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 Majesty the Governor. So I always believe that among the entire Confederacy of Independent Systems, you are the only one 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 all want simple...'freedom'."

"Freedom and power... Haha, this glass is for power." Tang Xiao picked up the glass with a smile.

Ding, he touched Count Dooku's wine glass lightly, and it made a crisp sound.

Count Dooku took a sip of the wine very elegantly, and then said, "Let's go, Your Excellency the Governor. We need to go back to Confederate Congress. The 300 people headed by Onderon Several planetary governments have raised demands for excessive war taxes, and the problem needs to be solved anyway... As for Ainlee-Senator Tim, we are just waiting for good news from your intelligence agents."

At the same time, among Coruscant and Jedi Temple.

Two young Jedi Knight are walking out quickly. They are both human beings, and they are young, handsome, and sunny. One has an Asian face, and the other has a typical Western face with dark brown hair.

They are Jing Fang and Jax-Pavan who have just completed their apprenticeship training and were promoted to Jedi Knight.

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

That Oriental Jing Fang was one of the three children sent from Dawn Star Planet to study at Jedi Temple. The other two were Luna-Meng and Luna-Huan, who are now quite famous among Jedi Order.

Jing Fang thought for a while and said, "Since we, Jedi Order, need to intervene in this matter, it means that 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 the spacecraft that may leave Coruscant." Jax-Pavan 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 realize 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-Pavan suddenly felt as if they had been shocked by electricity. Their whole bodies instantly froze upright, and they did not dare to breathe even while leaning against the wall.

"That... it's nothing, nothing! It's just... I was in the parliament today... ah no, I saw many high-ranking figures on the holographic news station!" Jax-Pavan quickly explained.

Jing Fang was covered in cold sweat and stood aside without daring to move.

I only saw two beautiful blond girls walking over. One was wearing a red dress with a single ponytail tied on the left side of her head, and the other was wearing a blue dress with a single ponytail tied on the right side of her head. Who is Dream Sisters?

Jax-Pavan and Jing Fang were often bullied by Dream Sisters in their daily training and life. They would make trouble for these two even if nothing happened. Firstly, you dare not hit them. Secondly, the little ancestor who has a high probability of not being able to beat them is extremely scared.

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

Her expression suddenly fell, "Oh... It's so boring... Ever since Priestess publicly executed Dictator on Tibrin... Master Yoda has not allowed us to go out... It's so boring..."

"This... there's nothing we can do... After all, after all, that Priestess she..." Jax-Pavan stammered and wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say.

"Hey, you two are walking together. Do you have any mission? How about taking me with you?" Luna-Huan said, staring at Jax-Pavan.

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

Luna-Meng, who was standing behind Luna-Huan, looked at Jax-Pavan deeply, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

However, Luna-Huan did not notice this. When she heard that it was a patrol, she felt very bored and waved her hands, "You can go on patrol slowly, we will go back to meditate."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

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

Jax-Pavan and Jing Fang breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and found that each other was dripping with cold sweat, and laughed again.

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

"Sister is okay, sister is really a dangerous person." Jax-Pavan waved his hand and said.

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

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

The two of them were immediately stunned, and sure enough they saw Master Windu standing behind them with an angry face.

"Ah, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, we'll go to the mission right away! Right now..." Jax-Pavan panicked and quickly grabbed Jing Fang and ran towards the door.

Bang!! The two of them hit the wall so hard that they were dizzy.

Looking again, the door was in the direction they were walking. It was clearly a wall! And where is Master Windu behind you? There is obviously no one there!

"Hahahahahaha!! I'm not bored anymore!" Luna-Huan's proud laughter came from the distance.
