A man in Harkonnen's uniform stopped suddenly at the end of the hall, staring at Yue who was standing inside, and at the same time glanced at Mapes' body and the Duke lying on the ground.There was a fearless savagery about him, and that kind of movement and acuity made Yue feel trembling all over. The more he knew, it was Sadoka, and he looked like a pashar from the face.Maybe someone personally selected by the emperor to oversee everything here.No matter what military uniform they wear, they can be recognized at a glance. "You are Yue." The man looked at the Suk school belt on the doctor's hair and said.He took another look at the eyes of the diamond totem and Yue.

"I am Yue." The doctor said. "You can relax, Yue," the man said. "We came in when you turned off the house screening. We've got the situation here. Is this the Duke?" "It's the Duke." "Dead?" "Just lost consciousness, I suggest you tie him up." "Did you kill this other person too?" He glanced back at Mapes' body. "It's unfortunate." Yue said in a low voice. "Unfortunately!" said the Sadaka soldier contemptuously.He stepped forward and looked down at Leido: "This is the great Duke in Red."

The more I thought about it: If I had doubts about this person's identity just now, it is clear now.Only the emperor called Atrez the Duke of Red. This Sadoka reached down and cut the eagle from Ledo's uniform. "A small souvenir," he said. "Where's the signet ring?" "He didn't bring it with him." Yue replied. "I know!" said this Sadoka unhappily. The more surprised I was, I thought: If they put pressure on me and get a truth-sayer, they will find out where the ring is, and the scout plane I prepared...everything will be over. "Sometimes the Duke will let the messenger wear a ring to ensure that the order delivered comes directly from the Duke." Yue said.

"Damn the trusted courier," the Sadokar whispered. "Aren't you going to tie him up?" The more boldly he asked again. "How long before he regains consciousness?" "About two hours. He wasn't dosed as precisely as the woman and the little boy were." Sadoka pushed the Duke with his foot: "He is not afraid even if he wakes up. When will the woman and the child wake up?" "About ten minutes." "So fast?" "I know the Baron will be here shortly after his men." "He'll be there in a minute. You wait outside, Yue," he said with a stern look at Yue, "go now!"

Yue glanced at Leido and said, "Why..." "He's like a dish on a plate, and it's served to the baron when it's ready." He glanced at the diamond totem on his forehead again, and said, "Our people know you, and you will be safe in the hall. We don't have time for nonsense, spy. I hear others coming." Spy, the more I think about it.He lowered his head and squeezed past Sadoka.He knew it was an omen, and his name would go down in history: the more spies. As he made his way to the front door, he saw more bodies.He identified them carefully, fearing that there might be Paul or Jessica among them.All house soldiers or men in Harkonnen uniforms.

The Harkonnen was on the alert as he walked through the front door into the firelit night sky.The palm trees that lined the road were burning, and black smoke rose from the orange flames and filled the air. "It's a spy." Someone said. "The Baron wants to see you in a moment," said another. The more I thought about it: I had to get close to that scout plane and put the knighthood signet ring where Paul could find it.But he was scared and worried: If Idaho doubted me and became impatient...if he didn't go and wait where I told him...Jessica and Paul would be doomed, then I'm sorry for my actions The compensation I made would be difficult to achieve, and my conscience would be condemned forever.

The Harkoning guard waved at him and said, "Don't get in the way, just wait there." Suddenly, the more I feel like an abandoned person, no one sympathizes with him, and he cannot escape bad luck.You can't go wrong with Idaho. Another guard bumped into him and yelled, "Get out of here!" The more I think about it: they have benefited from me, but they still despise me.He was pushed aside and straightened to maintain some dignity. "Wait for the Baron!" said an officer fiercely. Yue nodded, pretending to be nonchalant, walked outside the front door, turned a corner, and walked into the shadows.He immediately quickened his pace, revealing the anxiety in his heart.The more you walked towards the greenhouse in the backyard, there was a patrol plane waiting there...it was specially placed there to transport Paul and Jessica away.

A guard stood by the open rear door, his attention focused on the lighted hall and the throng that searched it. They are so confident! Using the shadow, Yue approached the patrol plane, gently opened a cabin door, reached under the chair to touch a bag he had hidden there a long time ago, opened a cover, put the signet ring in it, and wrapped it In a note he left.He reached out, closed the door, and slipped back into the corner, around the corner, and back outside the brightly lit front door. Now, it's all done, he thought. He pulled his cloak up around himself, staring at the blazing flames.I'll know the result after a while.I'll see the Baron in a moment, and I'll understand when the time comes.baron……

He will know the power of a small tooth.
