    Chapter 46 Chapter 46 The First Level of Truth – The First Prince Ends…

    Si Jiu was just slightly stunned at that time. He naturally thought of the pure beast wolf cub Xiaojie he met in the hospital.

    But then I thought about it, Xiaojie had been captured for in vivo experiments, and he had stayed in the same room as the beast-turned-Wei Jie in the grocery store – but it was a little too long ago.

    Si Jiu didn’t particularly pay attention to this matter, because he and Ran Lie had too many things to deal with in the special military operation against the fox orc Zhu Yu who joined forces with the Human New Rebirth Organization at the Duke’s Villa to privately manufacture dangerous nuclear crystal potions.

    Si Jiu first went to the hospital to visit Jun Qi, who had just woken up from a coma. Fortunately, he and a few orcs who came to attend the party only drank red wine mixed with drugs and were not seriously ill at the moment.

    But regarding Zhu Yu, Si Jiu couldn’t reveal too much to him because it involved military secrets.

    After confirming that Si Jiu was safe and sound, the kind-hearted Persian cat orc kept asking: “Where is Zhu Yu? Where has he gone? Is he okay?” Si Jiu comforted him softly. After that, he could only follow Wu En and the military’s request and vaguely said that they were admitted to the hospital because of food poisoning. Zhu Yu had to deal with food poisoning and might not be able to leave for a while.

    After leaving the ward, thinking of Jun Qi’s feelings for Zhu Yu, Si Jiu couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. It wasn’t until he saw Ran Lie waiting for him at the door, with familiar dog eyes. As soon as he saw him, the tall and handsome orc general couldn’t help but wag his tail, Si Jiu couldn’t help but reveal a long-lost smile.

    “The message just arrived from Wu En.” Ran Lie raised the mobile terminal in his hand, and his tail slowly lowered behind him, “The marshal wants to see us.”

    Si Jiu nodded. Although both Zhu Yu and Luo Hao were caught on the spot, some issues were still not clear. Si Jiu also wanted to talk to Marshal Yin Ye.

    Ran Lie drove that low-key and handsome jeep and took Si Jiu to the wolf manor of Marshal Yin Ye in the imperial capital.

    The marshal’s manor is located to the east of the royal castle, in the center of the imperial capital. It was already dusk when we arrived at the manor.

    The manor is not big, not even as big as Zhuyu’s villa on the top of the mountain.The interior decoration was simple, mainly in dark colors, but there was a faint feeling of sadness in the afterglow of dusk – Si Jiu looked out from the car window and sighed softly, maybe this sadness was his illusion.

    Ran Lie was familiar with the road. When the guard of the Marshal Manor saw him, he immediately opened the door. When he arrived at the main house, the orc Niu Butler who came to receive him was also very familiar with Ran Lie and called him Master Ran kindly and respectfully.

    Butler Niu didn’t say much and took Si Jiu and Ran Lie directly to the Marshal’s reception room.

    The white-haired wolf marshal was dressed in military uniform and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. When Si Jiu came in, he felt that other orcs had been here before, and the atmosphere in the air seemed a bit solemn.

    “You handled this matter very well.” The white-haired old man with wolf ears said and turned around. He showed a faint kind smile, but he was not angry or intimidating. He raised his hand to let Si Jiu and Ran Lie come over.

    Si Jiu approached, looking at Si Jiu with his sharp wolf eyes, and the marshal’s voice sounded: “Si Jiu, do you have something to ask me? Just ask.”

    Si Jiu couldn’t help but feel uncertain, and had to admire the old marshal’s keenness, and said, “How are you and the orc army going to deal with the members of the human organization involved?”

    Speaking of which, Luo Hao, Green Tea Man Cai Haoze, and the humans from the New Rebirth Organization can be considered accomplices at best. If they can still serve as tainted witnesses, they should not be sentenced harshly.

    Marshal Silver Night’s voice was smooth and weighty. He said, “It depends on whether this matter will be made public or not.”

    “This is an internal matter of the orc army, there is no need to make it public.” Ran Lie crossed his arms and said, he was very casual in front of the marshal.

    Si Jiu nodded. After all, everyone who should be arrested has been arrested. All suspicious potions have been seized, and the underground jade core crystals have been found. Everything was done in the villa on Fox Mountain. All information is under the control of the military. It is very clear that the culprit is the fox orc Takesumi – if there is any doubt worthy of digging deeper, what is the reason why Takesumi did this?

    Is there a higher-level orc force behind him?How did he unite with Luo Hao and the beast-like Wei Jie to use human organizations to work for him?Where did the jade core crystals he stored underground come from?And most importantly – what is his ultimate purpose in making the Bi Core Crystal Potion and conducting in vivo experiments.

    But these will definitely need to be tortured by Zhu Yu by the military department to know, and they have little to do with Luo Hao and other humans.

    Si Jiu looked at the old man, waiting for the marshal to speak.

    “If possible, I prefer not to make it public, but Duke Fox has just reported this matter to His Highness the Second Prince. In his mouth, it was a dangerous human organization that deceived his precious grandson Zhu Yu, so that Zhu Yu was bewitched and became an insignificant-sounding accomplice. He asked the second prince to let Zhu Yu go home as soon as possible and severely punish the humans involved.” The old man with white hair and wolf ears frowned deeply.

    What?These damn foxes!Completely confusing right and wrong!

    Si Jiu clenched his teeth secretly: “I have a recording here, which is enough to prove that these potions are Zhu Yu’s business! The humans in the rebirth organization don’t even know what the Bi Core Crystal is, how could they be the masterminds of this?!”

    “Duke Fox is very cunning. He knows that human beings have limited power and His Highness the Second Prince cannot be fooled so easily, so he said that the mastermind behind this is not humans – but His Highness the First Prince.” The marshal’s words made Si Jiu’s eyes widen. “Humans followed the First Prince’s orders and deceived Zhu Yu.”

    The eldest prince?The eldest prince who almost disappeared from the Orc Star Empire?

    “Nonsense!” Si Jiu couldn’t help but blurt out.

    Ran Lie also sneered and said, “This stinky fox is really capable of pulling off tricks!”

    “Of course he has his reasons for saying that, but you don’t know the reason. After all, Ah Lie, you were still young when you came to the Orc Planet. After that, the First Prince, who returned from the interstellar injured, claimed to be ill and never showed up again for ten years. As a result, many orcs did not know that His Highness the First Prince existed.” Marshal Yinye’s wolf ears trembled slightly, and he sighed, “His Royal Highness – he is a pure beast.”

    As soon as these words came out, Si Jiu was so shocked that he could hardly speak, but at the same time, he suddenly remembered that Han Yanru, who was a few years older than him, once lamented that when the eldest prince was around, the life of pure beasts would be easier, but as soon as the words came out, she immediately changed the topic.

    “His Royal Highness, you are not just sick, right?” Si Jiu looked at the marshal.

    “Royal imprisonment?” Ran Lie’s voice was low. He knew the royal family better than Si Jiu. After all, he had been in the military for many years.

    “Some orcs in the military know about it, but they are also a minority. His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, has been secretly imprisoned by the royal family for crimes related to the Bi Core Crystal ten years ago. However, because he was seriously injured in the interstellar before – the royal family’s claim that he was sick was not completely wrong. But he has been imprisoned in the royal hospital for many years., Now the injury has long been cured, but it involves many factors such as contraband such as Bi Core Crystal. The royal family has indeed deliberately erased his existence in recent years. However, His Majesty the King is getting old recently, and he thought of his eldest son, and asked him specifically – Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.” The old man with white hair and wolf ears shook his head with emotion.

    There have always been rumors that the lion orc king has been in poor health recently, so the young second prince has been attending many official events recently.

    “That’s not necessarily the eldest prince’s mastermind – isn’t he still imprisoned?” Sijiu vaguely felt that there was some subtle connection between the pure beast species, the jade core crystal and the eldest prince, but he couldn’t tell for the moment.

    “Because His Majesty the King began to miss his eldest son, some of his restrictions were lifted a while ago. The Duke of Fox used to work under the First Prince, and the lizard orcs are the personal soldiers of His Highness. The Duke of Fox came forward to identify the First Prince, and the First Prince was imprisoned more than ten years ago because of the matter involving the Jade Core Crystal. This is almost impeccable.” The Marshal looked at the dark sky outside the window, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.

    “The eldest prince did this to use the jade core crystal to find a way to transform into a beast?” Si Jiu remembered his previous conjecture about the jade core crystal. They were looking for a way to transform into a human from a beast. So it makes sense that the eldest prince, who is a pure beast, wants to use the jade core crystal to transform himself into a human. But what doesn’t make sense is how he can make Luo Hao and the newly reborn humans work for him.

    “It is logical to conjecture like this, but there are also some uncertainties.” The marshal’s words coincided with Si Jiu’s.

    “Therefore, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has immediately applied to His Majesty the King for a public hearing on this matter.” Marshal Yin Ye turned his head and glanced at Si Jiu and Ran Lie, and said, “Once the trial is completely open to the public, the military will not be able to control the development of the situation. Si Jiu, I am sorry, but I cannot promise that I will be able to help your compatriots.”

    “Don’t say that, Marshal, thank you for telling us this – but forgive me for one more request.” Si Jiu solemnly thanked the white-haired old man with wolf-eared ears, and then said, “Please, could you please allow me to meet one of the humans named Luo Hao.”

    Si Jiu always felt that Luo Hao might know something.

    Ran Lie looked at Si Jiu with his black and golden eyes. He knew that Si Jiu was worried about humans, those were his compatriots, but——

    Ran Lie’s eyes darkened. He could not conceal his disgust for Luo Hao, even more than Zhu Yu and Cai Haoze.Why did Si Jiu have to meet him?!

    On the way home, Si Jiu could clearly feel that Ran Lie was a little unhappy.

    There was a faint sense of stagnation in the air inside the jeep. It was rare for Ran Lie, who was driving, to look ahead with such concentration and not speak. The night cast a dark shadow on Ran Lie’s tense profile.His furry ears were pressed back, which was the instinctive reaction of the canine beastman to restrain his emotions, and his slender tail hung motionless on the edge of the seat.

    Si Jiu wanted to speak several times, but Ran Lie just said “oh” lightly.

    After returning home, Si Jiu finished his bath and wanted to chat with Ran Lie when he was free. He had such a thrilling day today, and he met with the marshal and obtained important information about the eldest prince being a pure beast and having been involved in the Bi Core Crystal case more than ten years ago. There were some things he also wanted to discuss with Ran Lie.

    But when Si Jiu came out of the bathroom, Ran Lie had transformed into the form of a big dog. He was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, puffing out his cheeks and looking at Si Jiu with eyes that were half resentful and half sullen.

    “What’s wrong?” Si Jiu couldn’t help but become worried. He remembered that when he was in the basement, Ran Lie sneezed several times in a row – could it be that he felt uncomfortable since then?

    He had struggled to hold on during his estrus period before, so Sijiu walked towards him with concern.

    “Wow -” In fact, when Si Jiu walked out of the bathroom door covered in water vapor and scented with shower gel, Ran Lie had already lost half of his anger. And when his black and smart eyes were full of attention to himself, Ran Lie couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows – What Luo, what Hao, my wife clearly only has me in her heart!

    But the dog biting his nose and face couldn’t help but pretend for a while longer.

    “I’ll sleep on the sofa today.” Ran Houndou turned his head to the side.

    “…Uh” Si Jiu wanted to ask why, but after thinking about it, he saw that Ran Lie’s expression in his big dog form was as usual, and it didn’t look like he was feeling unwell, so he nodded slowly and said, “That’s okay, I just want to check out some more historical information about the eldest prince, and I will sleep late today. You can sleep on the sofa first, and I will bring you the blanket. It’s cold, so be careful not to catch a cold.”

    Ran Lie’s expected script: Si Jiu came over and hugged him and said, “No, no, I’m going to sleep with Ah Lie.” He immediately transformed into a human form and hugged her back, and then he could hug his little Jiu to bed…

    Unfortunately, Si Jiu didn’t follow his script.

    The big dog lowered his head, failure, big failure!

    But then, the aroma of shower gel wafted over, and when he looked up, Si Jiu had arrived in front of the sofa. He touched Ran Lie’s head, gently covered him with a blanket, and then hugged him gently.

    “Thank you for your hard work today, Ah Lie. Without your early detection of You Zhi’s strangeness and the arrangements made by the military department, we would not have been able to capture Zhuyu so smoothly. Get some rest early, and if you feel unwell, be sure to tell me in time…and, I love you.”

    Si Jiu’s face turned slightly red, and he said “I love you” very quietly, his voice lowered, and he bit the words between his lips.

    But the dog’s ears were straight up, so naturally he would not miss his every word. Ran Lie leaned on Si Jiu’s neck and softly cried out “oooooooooo” – if Yang Xiaozheng saw his boss acting like a baby like this, he would probably drop his horns in shock.

    “Come with me to see Luo Hao, okay? I have some questions to ask him about the Bi Core Crystal.” Si Jiu gently helped Ran Lie smooth the hair on his body and said slowly.
