When he heard Darth Plagueis say that the operation to block Planet Naboo will start in half a year, he felt a little strange about this time.
Because it stands to reason that Padmé Amidala, Queen of Naboo, has already negotiated with the Trade Federation, and Nute Gunray has decided to use Naboo as a model under Sith's order, killing chickens for monkeys to see, to deter the Galactic Republic, so the negotiation cannot be successful.
So if this is the case, since the talks have collapsed, let's start fighting immediately, why wait half a year? And the reason given by Plagueis is that Nute Gunray still needs to plan his Battleship formation.
This is obviously an excuse given by Nute Gunray. The Trade Federation actually has military staff to think about its own Battleship formation? This is simply the biggest joke of the century!
Sure enough, it happened.
Tang Xiao recalled the plot while planning his actions.
Now the time has come to 32BBY, that is to say after the Naboo Star Wars ended, Sheev Palpatine became the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, and that night was the death of Darth Plagueis.
One thing he wants to be sure of is that Darth Plagueis must die!
Because in the past three years as Darth Plagueis' apprentice, he has served Plagues almost wholeheartedly and even made a gesture of being willing to give everything.
Even the Fourth Group he created is now legally the property of Darth Plagueis.
In this case, if Darth Plagueis does not die, it is obvious that he will completely become his vassal in the days to come, without self, without thought, just a tool.
This situation... absolutely cannot be allowed!
In order to ensure that Darth Sidious killed his master Darth Plagueis, Tang Xiao also secretly did a lot of things.
For example, he actively involved the Fourth Group in every riot that Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious planned, whether Plagueis let him go or not. Similar to the Yinchorri riots, Plagueis had no intention of letting Tang Xiao participate, but Tang Xiao took the initiative to participate, and by the way, he also conspired to seize the Golden Nyss Shipyards.
Doing this not only allows the Fourth Group to take advantage of this turmoil and get better opportunities for growth but also makes the Fourth Group's activity fall into the eyes of another person...
Darth Sidious!
Tang Xiao understands that he was secretly cultivated by Darth Plagueis and used as a pawn to check and balance Darth Sidious, so he must constantly show his value. Now, his value has been recognized by Darth Plagueis, and at the same time, Darth Sidious has also seen it.
From the perspective of Darth Sidious, he would only think that the Fourth Group, an emerging company that is not under his control and has never even been in contact but has repeatedly stepped into his plan without making a sound, is Darth - Plagueis's laid down backhand.
The Sith Lord himself lived in conspiracy and suspicion. Darth Sidious saw that Plagueis was secretly cultivating power, and he could only think that Plagueis wanted to deal with him, so how he would treat Plagueis became more and more apprehensive.
But Darth Plagueis couldn't explain this matter. On the one hand, the Fourth Group is his own hole card, and on the other hand, he is the Lord, so naturally he will not pull down his face to explain to his apprentices what he wants to do.
In this way, the more active the Fourth Group is, the more Sidious will be afraid of Plagueis. And this fear, combined with his original killing intent, will make his determination to kill Plagueis even stronger!
And what's even more wonderful is that these things he did were all natural, neither Sidious nor Plagueis would think that someone was sowing discord.
And now, here's another chance! An opportunity to sow discord between Sidious and Plagueis, the plastic master-student relationship, without making a fuss!
...
Coruscant underground space, 1022 floors.
Several residential buildings exploded and were immediately engulfed in flames. The fire brigade's water spray spacecraft and firefighting B-1 Droids were fighting the fire.
Many people around are watching the fire, and everyone is still pointing.
In an inconspicuous corner, a human man in his 40s, accompanied by a Droid, watched the fire intently. He is the self-proclaimed information broker, Lorn Pavan.
Just a day before, he had just visited one of the dwellings and bought a holographic memory from a Neimoidian for 500,000 credits. It is said that there is an extremely dangerous military plan inside, which may block Planet Naboo in the near future!
What's even more frightening is that there is evidence of the existence of Sith in the memory!!
Perhaps many residents of the Galactic Republic have forgotten what a Sith is, but he is different. He knows what the word Sith means.
However, he doesn't have 500,000 credit points, but he also knows that this memory is very important, as long as he gets it, many people are willing to pay a high price for it.
So he pulled a trick by having his own Droid, I-5YQ, hack into a bank's system and make it look like he had half a million credits in his electronic account. Well, it just seems that he doesn't have the ability to modify the account directly, and he can only maintain it for about 40 minutes before being discovered by the bank's security system.
But he succeeded, he tricked the memory and left.
But the fire in front of him made things look not so simple.
What Lorn Pavan didn't know was that his little trick had pushed the Vice-Governor of the dignified Trade Federation into a corner. Because Hath Monchar was chased by the bounty hunters sent by Nute Gunray, and his account was frozen, so he used the 500,000 credits to bribe a smuggler to take him away from Coruscant.
Who knew that he handed over the storage, but he didn't receive a penny!?
So desperate, he was blocked by Darth Maul, and then he completely confessed himself.
The victims in the burning house were carried out one by one, and their bodies were burnt beyond recognition. Listening to the comments of some people around, it seems that more than a dozen bounty hunters died inside, and several Trade Federation officials also died inside.
Pavan's heart sank for a moment, he knew that it seemed that the other party also killed the bounty hunter who was chasing and killing the Neimoidian, what a ruthless method!
Finally, when the body of the Neimoidian was carried out, Lorn Pavan's heart almost jumped out of his chest!
He knew the scars of the incision on the neck of this headless corpse! Although it was burned by the fire, it can still be distinguished that no blood flowed from this incision, and it was scorched by high temperature in an instant!
He knew that this was the wound caused by the Lightsaber!!
It is absolutely impossible for a Jedi Knight to do such a thing, so there is only one possibility!
The Sith...they really exist!!
Lorn Pavan sped up and quietly left from the shadows. He let his loyal Droid I-5YQ hang behind him to watch for any stalkers.
He has only one idea now: sell this memory as soon as possible, and then tell his son the news of Sith's appearance!
He was able to make out the Lightsaber wound because he was so familiar with the Jedi. His son is...
Jedi Knight, Jax Pavan!!
