Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Never Peace
The Duke of Julius Titania was stranded in the Alhambra Hotel in the East Sanjuan District of Baghuo. He was not an ordinary passenger, and the hotel here was originally the property of Titania, so naturally the whole hotel was destroyed He packed it all by himself.It's just that no matter how huge he is, he can't occupy the entire hotel. He and his four lovers use the top floor building, and the other rooms are provided for the entourage and soldiers to stay.Duke Zhelixu also ordered the club in the basement to be opened free of charge. The soldiers walked into the garden of fine wine and beautiful women that they had no chance to touch at ordinary times. They praised the generosity of the lord, drank fine wine, sang and danced, and kissed and hugged with the hostess , These are some of the privileges that the most basic level of Titania can enjoy.
On the other hand, Fang Xiuli, the distinguished guest of Duke Theodora, stayed in a small single room and lived a life of house arrest. It should be an honor to share the same room with the great Duke Jerix Titania. feel grateful.There are three monitors in the room, half a dozen guards outside the door, and there are soldiers standing guard at the elevator entrance and stairwell. In the guest room on the other side of the atrium, the gas bomb launcher is aiming maliciously at Fang Xiuli by the window.Looking around the room that can only be called a disturbing view, Fang Xiuli thought to himself, it seems that Zhelixu regards the prisoner as a strong man, but in fact, as long as Zhelixu is guarding alone, Fang Xiuli can't move.
Of course, the great nobles of Titania would not hear Fang Xiuli's thoughts. It was Zhelixu's mother, not Zhelixu himself, who was really obsessed with Fang Xiuli. If Fang Xiuli gathered tens of thousands of people with weapons to rebel, That's another matter.At present, Zhelixu thinks that he has fulfilled his duties as a son of man, but fulfilling his duties is accompanied by many annoying trifles.For example, a Titanian soldier who directly suppressed Fang Xiuli asked during a meeting with Zhelixu:
"Can I claim the reward now?"
Zhelixu despised this narrow-minded question the most, and immediately raised his resolute eyebrows, frightening the other party at once.The person paled in horror, bowed his head and backed away with a humiliated expression.Timidity is the greatest insult to Jerry Xu, and stinginess can also cause a considerable degree of unhappiness.So Zhelixu called Lieutenant Gulanit to pay the bounty, and he instructed:
"Remember to pay in cash."
fully express his inner unhappiness.
Just as Gulanit was about to leave, Zhelish called him again and asked:
"Ready for a space war?"
After getting the adjutant's answer of "on call at any time", Zhe Lixu pictured in his heart the scene of his triumphant return from killing the flies of the Meteor Banner Army in one fell swoop, and shook his beautiful beard with a knowing grin.
On this day, Michal Valenkov and Louis Edmund Badgers came to East Sanjoan District to investigate the security situation of the Alhambra Hotel. Zhelish did not deliberately hide his location , you can clearly judge where he put the prisoners; also because the target of the attack is quite obvious, the security is naturally very strict, and Zhelixu Titania himself is a tricky mobile fortress. In terms of physique and arm strength, Varenkov and Zhelixu are on par; if they really fought, they might lose a lot in strength, Badgers observed.Warrenkov is not a militant. The reason he joins the army is the same as that of Badgers, because he is forced by life. "Dr. Li said that he would pretend to attack Duke Zhelish in space, but he actually wanted to rescue Admiral Fang Xiuli from the ground..." Badgers stroked his sharp chin and raised his slender eyebrows, like a fox accustomed to fighting wits with hunters and hounds. "I can't find any loopholes at all, how can I save people now?" At this moment, Varenkov stabbed his colleague's arm with his thick elbow, and Badgers followed his thick fingers. After reading the event instructions and guest list, Badgers gave Warenkov a knowing wink. There are more than five dozen armed spaceships engraved with Titania's family crest on the outer skin moored in the central space port of Baghuo Star. In addition, there are 100 ships in satellite orbit, and 1,000 ships at the space point 500,000 kilometers away from Huoxing Star. The warships were lined up waiting to be hit, and Zhelixu was serious. Anyone who saw it could understand that he wanted to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. "What happened? Is there going to be a war?" The questioner was a middle-aged man who sat in the back seat of the car as soon as he walked out of the space port. Although he was wearing a high-end suit, the style was dull. "Because Duke Zhelish has recruited all the troops in this area, my lord." A man in the passenger seat replied. "Duke Zhelish? That rough man always likes to make things big." The eyes of the man in the back seat and the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm. As soon as the car started, the lights of the universe port suddenly turned into a light strip on the moving window. "My lord, your volume is too loud." The man in the passenger seat frowned and flinched, probably the secretary, a skinny and nervous thirty-five-year-old youth. "It would be bad if Duke Zhelish's men overheard it. Please be more careful." "Hey, I can't even speak out my own thoughts casually. It's a world of difference to also bear the name of Titania." The man's name is Elman Titania, of course he is a nobleman with a title, and he is an earl. He is forty-seven years old and has served as a court advisor, royal counselor, honorary ambassador, foundation director, university council member, etc. , with nearly three dozen or so titles.There is nothing special about his appearance, talent, or strength. It is not prejudice to say that he is ordinary and harmless. Earl Elman Titania can be said to be a figure admired by everyone. He is neither the mainstream nor the end of the Titania family. He has ensured a considerable status and wealth, and his life is comfortable and comfortable.As a Titanian family, if you want to gain strong power and wealth, you must have superior talent, hard work and performance; if you are far away from competition, you can live comfortably, and you will be awarded several honorary titles to enjoy your life.As long as you don't have distorted aesthetics like Earl Arthurs, at least you won't die in an ordinary life. The Titanians, far from the center of power, often shine in academics and arts, mainly because they have no financial pressure and can concentrate on their interests.Although Earl Elman himself has no creative ability, he has set up several schools and funds, hoping to cultivate some people from them.It doesn't have to be an artist or a creator, there are also people who have learned a skill and become professional leaders in Titania's organization. The next day, the Association of Planet Management Officers held a symposium. The opening ceremony invited Earl Elman to give a speech. The nobles of Titania are most suitable for attending ceremonies or ceremonies. If there are multiple groups and organizations standing side by side in the society, there will be exchanges of gifts and favors. Even if it is superficially false, it is like a vase that needs flowers, so the Titanian nobles have become frequent guests at the guest table.Some of the last baronets often went to the border to participate in small ceremonies in order to receive gifts and free accommodation.Titania is powerful and luxurious, and the brilliance of stars will not be favored by others because they are far away from the center of power. This is the reality. Earl Elman Titania didn't stay in the car for a long time. Something happened to the car on the way from the space port to the city. Four cars rushed out in the dark night, surrounded and approached the earl. The driver of the car tried to escape hastily. After five minutes of hard work, he gave up his resistance. The car was forced to stop in the coniferous forest outside the main road. Seeing several figures with guns appear, the secretary raised his voice and said he was late. interrogation. "Who is here? Hugh is rude!" "You are the lackeys of Earl Elman Titania." Suddenly being robbed by the other party, the secretary suddenly didn't know how to respond, and could only look back at the owner in the back seat with a look of embarrassment.The count kept silent with his arms crossed, maintaining a spectatorial stance.Dr. Li, one of the attackers, looked directly at the other party, and when he was about to speak, the Earl preemptively struck without changing his expression. "I don't like being ordered or coerced by others. You look younger than me, so you should respect the old and respect the virtuous. Naturally, I will treat each other with courtesy." After hearing this, Dr. Li looked at the Earl carefully, and saw that the Earl looked calm and calm, and he did not seem to be bluffing.Due to the lack of observation time, Dr. Li had to make a decision within two seconds, so he put away the hypnotic gas gun and instructed his comrades to put away their weapons, and solemnly asked the Earl to get out of the car.Dr. Lee, Miranda, Badgers, Warenkov, and Yamjekar were the five-member team that attacked the Earl. Their purpose was not assassination, but one of Dr. Lee's multi-pronged combat plans to kidnap Al. Earl Mann was a hostage in exchange for Fang Xiuli, and Earl Elman just smiled quietly after hearing this. "Unfortunately, it's not cost-effective to kidnap me. I am indeed the Earl of Titania, but there are nearly a hundred people with the same status as me. I don't think Titania will succumb to coercion for this one percent loss. .” "You said so." Dr. Li couldn't hide his surprise. Earl Elman is neither harmful nor beneficial, and he has no connection with the power center of Titania. His talents have never been strictly tested. Old and dead" people.However, standing in front of Dr. Li is a middle-aged man with a natural temperament and profound knowledge, which can be described as unpredictable. "I have a more effective way. I can make representations to the Titania center instead of you." This proposal was unexpected by the attackers, and the crowd could only respond with silence. "Although it is abrupt, I have my reasons." Earl Elman's explanation is as follows: If he can establish contacts in the anti-Titania camp, there will be room for diplomatic negotiations in the future, even if it is not immediately effective, this channel can be opened after several generations of hard work , then the two camps have another choice besides political warfare, which is beneficial to both sides, and at the same time, he himself can get rid of the inaction in front of him, and each seek personal meaning in life. Think carefully... "I see what you mean, and it's quite reasonable indeed." This can be said to be Dr. Li's highest compliment. He reported his real name on the spot, calling himself "Dr. Li of the Meteor Banner Army", while the others kept their identities secret just in case. "But Earl Elman, even if you intend to, you don't know the thoughts of other people in Titania. Take Duke Zhelish as an example. He may regard you as an unforgivable traitor. Have you considered this danger? sex?" "Duke Jerish is not the vassal of Titania, at least not now." The double-entendre reply made Dr. Li speed up his thinking in the brain's neural circuits. The present that Earl Elman said actually alluded to the future.This Titanian nobleman intends to use the "communication channel with the anti-Titanian camp" as a weapon to expand his personal power and establish a solid diplomatic position in the power center of Titania. "Without the opposition party, the ruling party will become corrupt and shrink. Enemies who are unable to defeat Titania must follow the laws of Titania, so that Titania can continue to operate." "Is that your idea, Count." "I'm not alone in thinking that." Miranda chimed in. "It means that everyone's efforts are for Titania? It's too arrogant." "Yeah, really arrogant." The Count nodded emphatically. "However, this arrogance comes from the real facts. From a practical point of view, you can also see clearly that Titania is powerful and invincible." Earl Elman smiled badly, and Dr. Lee and Miranda could not refute that Titania did not only dominate the universe by force. The Interstellar City Alliance will not block diplomatic and dialogue channels.Titania holds the dominance of peace and war in human society, adding friends or making enemies according to its own needs, and this time it is the turn to make enemies. Yamjekar said with bitterness in his mouth: "In other words, are we just dancing swords in the palm of Titania? What a shame." "Sharp swords can also pierce palms, and by then Titania will be destroyed. Presumably Earl Elman understands this." Facing Dr. Li's gaze, Earl Elman remained unmoved. "First declare that I am a Titanian, it is impossible and will not be necessary to conspire against Titania, you should understand." "yes." After the short answer, Dr. Li accelerated his thinking again, and the conclusion has emerged, but it still needs to be confirmed. "Earl Elman, forgive me for speculating boldly, you seem to have other ideas about the next landless vassal, right?" Earl Elman didn't answer, and Dr. Li didn't pursue it. At this moment, both parties were spying on each other's inner thoughts.Dr. Li saluted silently to express his agreement with Earl Elman's proposal, and the unexpected negotiation result was established. Earl Elman arrived at the hotel an hour later than the scheduled time. He and Duke Jerix Titania had different rooms. If they share the same room, Earl Elman must feel very crowded.After the rectification, Earl Elman still paled and ordered the secretary to send a greeting letter to Duke Jalish.On the one hand, he deliberately avoided face-to-face conversations because he considered the convenience of Duke Jerish. Duke Jerish is a heroic man, and bringing a formal visit into the dormitory must have made him feel uncomfortable. "Earl Elman? Ah, I remember this man." Just as the count had expected, Jerry Xu, who received the letter in the dormitory, only knew him to such a degree.Although there is only the rank of Marquis between the Duke and the Earl, the Duke with the surname of Titania is equivalent to the ruler of the universe. The disparity between the two is as great as the distance between the Milky Way and other nebulae. After politely replying to Earl Elman, Jerix completely forgot about his fellow clansmen on the same planet. What he cared about was another clansman, Idris Titania, who was not the count. It was Yun Shangren who was on the same level as Zhe Lixu.Zhelixu received a congratulatory message and advice from Duke Chu Shilang, and at the same time someone informed that Duke Idris was jealous of his meritorious service. "I'm not afraid of that brat Idris, but Duke Chu Shilang is too worried." Zhelixu spat that he was only two years older than Idris, but his appearance made people feel that the difference between the two was more than ten years old, so Zhelixu always emphasized to Idris that he was the elder in words and deeds, and he He was also one year younger than the dukes of Albert and Chu Shilang, so he grew a beard to fill the gap, so that the outside world would think that he was older than the two dukes just by looking at his appearance.Observing it like this, we can see that Zhelixu deliberately created an old-fashioned impression. Maybe Zhelixu's political ability is far better than what Albert and Chu Shilang imagined. The approach is not so much a political trick, it might be better to call it tactical intimidation. In short, Zhe Lixu didn't care about Chu Shilang's congratulations, he just wanted to be the strongest person in Titania, that is, the highest existence in the universe. Although he was courteous to Chu Shilang, he couldn't understand the true value of this clan brother, Presumably Chu Shilang is the same, even if they come from the same blood and genes, they do not necessarily have the same spiritual world. There are countless precedents in history.
Zhelixu was upset, but his captive was also very depressed. Not only the freedom of movement, but also the freedom of taste was deprived. His request to eat vegetable omelet rice has never been fulfilled so far. It's gluten-free steaks, frozen salads, and unspecified soups that are definitely not made from human flesh. There was probably a sedative in the food, and the possibility was quite high. Fang Xiuli was not an easy-going personality, but he couldn't figure out how to escape, and his thinking ability obviously deviated from him. "It's too bad, maybe it's a lack of calcium." As he said that, he took a plastic knife to cut into the bran steak and thought for two seconds, then moved the knife again, and finally put down the knife and relied on fingers like primitive people.He cursed the heat of the steak while biting it, then stopped suddenly and got up. "Is this edible?" roared and threw the dishes at the monitor, "I'm going to flush this residue down the toilet!" After saying that, he grabbed the steak and rushed into the toilet. With a dead white face. Fang Xiuli vomited severely. He wanted to support the table with his hands but accidentally knocked over the tray. The utensils and food on the tray played a discordant symphony loudly.The monitor showed a fallen prisoner, and it was transmitted to the optic nerve of the guard drinking coffee. The guard panicked. If an important person dies, he will be unlucky.He dropped the coffee cup, which had been mostly half-drinked, so only a small amount of water spilled out of the cup. "Fang Xiuli is poisoned!" The four-character idiom of panic and panic immediately turned into a whirlwind and swept across the entire hotel, waking up the noble Duke Jerix Titania and the black-haired beauty who shared the bed.I thought Fang Xiuli was trying to commit suicide, but the report pointed out that he was poisoned. Zhe Lixu quickly changed into a military uniform, and his tall body appeared in front of the terrified subordinates. "Who did the good thing, find this troublesome guy for me immediately!" Following the Duke's roar, the hotel's exclusive doctor just walked in and told a fact that was beyond everyone's expectations. "The report is an order from His Excellency the Duke's mother." The doctor's surrender was also an accusation. Even the resolute Zhelixu was speechless, and could only stare at the weakened doctor. "Don't try to lie to me!" "No, I didn't lie to you. The Lingtang's order is to torture Fang Xiuli alive, so the poison in the food will not be fatal. Fang Xiuli's life is not in danger." Zhelixu's thick eyebrows twitched, his mother would indeed do such a thing, and when he admitted it, he had to accept the other party's excuse.He breathed slowly, letting his pent-up anger melt into a blurted sound. "Okay, I understand. If Fang Xiuli dies, you will be disobeying my mother's order. At that time, as the son of man, I will only ask you!" Zhelixu's giant fist hit the air, and the powerful blow seemed to generate wind pressure that made it almost impossible to stand still.The majestic young noble turned his back to the cowering crowd with a displeased face, and returned to the dormitory with loud footsteps on the marble floor. After gastric lavage, Fang Xiuli, who was still in a coma, was pulled up from the bottom of his consciousness by a call. "Admiral Fang Xiuli! Admiral Fang Xiuli!" "I'm not an admiral, but a colonel, because I only get the salary of a colonel, but everyone put the responsibility on me..." It is hard to imagine that this petty bourgeois dreamer is the public enemy of Titania. "I'm here to save you." These words permeated the entire subconscious mind, and the suffering hero finally opened his eyes.He was lying on a cart specially used for transporting corpses, his cheeks were covered by a white cloth, his eyes were blurred, and the face of the savior was located beyond the white veil of consciousness. "Are you the one who put the note in the food?" "Yes, fortunately you followed the instructions." There was no tone in the lowered voice. "Yeah, but I'm so sad." "That's just a simple emetic, it's better than being slaughtered by Duke Zhelish's mother." "Well, I think so too. By the way, I haven't asked who you are yet?" "An enemy of Titania." "Okay, that's enough." There was still anxiety, but Fang Xiuli blocked the confusion and questions in his heart.Leaving aside the real identity of the doctor, it is certain that he is not a friend of Julius Titania.Due to the lack of equipment in the hotel, Fang Xiuli was transferred to the hospital, which was of course also a hospital set up by Titania, but the half-dead people couldn't escape at all, so the security was relatively loose.All the plans went smoothly. From this incident, it can be seen that the proposer accurately read Zhelixu's psychology, and the person who "poisoned" should be responsible for treating Fang Xiuli.I had no hope at first, but in the end I still drew a lucky lottery. "Then the second half of the show is about to begin." "I'm worried about one thing." "What's up?" "What if I hiccup?" Faced with this lack of tension, the doctor answered coldly. "Then continue to play dead, I will escape as soon as possible, don't worry." So Fang Xiuli was carted to the mortuary with a white cloth covering his head. It was difficult for a living person to experience that the skin of a dead person had no yang energy.After counting the one hundred and fortieth sheep, the doctor whispered: "It's a guard, relax!" The question just now was just to make fun of the doctor, but this prank seemed to have offended some god. Fang Xiuli felt a strange sense of disobedience in his chest and throat, and before he realized something was wrong, the dwarf's throat suddenly exploded. "Hicc!" Fang Xiuli hiccupped, and the gray-clothed soldier standing in the corridor moved, looking suspiciously at the white cloth.The doctor wearing a mask was about to pass in front of the soldier at his original pace, when doubts finally overcame hesitation, and the soldier let out a threatening roar. "Let me see the body..." The end of the soldier's speech was silenced, because the volume far exceeded the human voice flooded into the auditory field. It was an explosion, and the doctor's clenched palm pressed the detonation switch.The explosion occurred in the unoccupied quilt storage room, with violent flames, smoke and loud noises flying. This is a bomb used to scare the mob. It will not cause harm but at least cause a commotion.The soldier's doubts flew away on the blast. He grabbed the pistol holster and rushed to the explosion site, breaking through the vortex of chaos and noise. Just as he was about to walk out of the hospital, he was questioned by other soldiers. "Hey, wait, stop!" After three consecutive words with short syllables, the muzzle of the hypnotic gas gun in the soldier's hand was pointed at the doctor, but the muzzle of the gun did not complete the assigned task. The soldier's expression was blank, his fingers hung on the trigger, and he fell forward without a sound. Kissed the marble floor.The doctor's hesitation was instantly wiped out, and he pushed the cart and rushed out, and the white clothes were also raised.The hapless soldiers were left unconscious, while Louis Edmund Badgers stood where he was. "What happened? It seems that our competitors are one step ahead of us." Louis Edmund Badgers muttered something, and conveniently put the short needle gun into the inner pocket of his overalls. He originally had a high shooting rate of 77%. Badgers stepped out of the street with his head bowed, thankful he only fired one shot this time.The street was full of vehicles, half of which were engraved with Titania's family crest, and the hospital was surrounded by a human wall made of gray military uniforms, which radiated hostility and responsibility like white blood cells that detected pathogenic bacteria invading the human body.While running, Badgers flinched in his heart: Titania is definitely not incompetent, it's just that the god of luck didn't favor them for a few seconds this time, that's all, that's all, who wants to blame this time? Who is responsible for the incident?Maybe even Jerry Xu Titania himself has something to watch... So the exiled hero Fang Xiuli brushed past the approaching death again. This was the second time, and no one could guarantee that it would be the last.
On this day, Michal Valenkov and Louis Edmund Badgers came to East Sanjoan District to investigate the security situation of the Alhambra Hotel. Zhelish did not deliberately hide his location , you can clearly judge where he put the prisoners; also because the target of the attack is quite obvious, the security is naturally very strict, and Zhelixu Titania himself is a tricky mobile fortress. In terms of physique and arm strength, Varenkov and Zhelixu are on par; if they really fought, they might lose a lot in strength, Badgers observed.Warrenkov is not a militant. The reason he joins the army is the same as that of Badgers, because he is forced by life. "Dr. Li said that he would pretend to attack Duke Zhelish in space, but he actually wanted to rescue Admiral Fang Xiuli from the ground..." Badgers stroked his sharp chin and raised his slender eyebrows, like a fox accustomed to fighting wits with hunters and hounds. "I can't find any loopholes at all, how can I save people now?" At this moment, Varenkov stabbed his colleague's arm with his thick elbow, and Badgers followed his thick fingers. After reading the event instructions and guest list, Badgers gave Warenkov a knowing wink. There are more than five dozen armed spaceships engraved with Titania's family crest on the outer skin moored in the central space port of Baghuo Star. In addition, there are 100 ships in satellite orbit, and 1,000 ships at the space point 500,000 kilometers away from Huoxing Star. The warships were lined up waiting to be hit, and Zhelixu was serious. Anyone who saw it could understand that he wanted to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. "What happened?

Although he was wearing a high-end suit, the style was dull. "Because Duke Zhelish has recruited all the troops in this area, my lord." A man in the passenger seat replied. "Duke Zhelish? That rough man always likes to make things big." The eyes of the man in the back seat and the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm. As soon as the car started, the lights of the universe port suddenly turned into a light strip on the moving window. "My lord, your volume is too loud." The man in the passenger seat frowned and flinched, probably the secretary, a skinny and nervous thirty-five-year-old youth. "It would be bad if Duke Zhelish's men overheard it. Please be more careful." "Hey, I can't even speak out my own thoughts casually. It's a world of difference to also bear the name of Titania." The man's name is Elman Titania, of course he is a nobleman with a title, and he is an earl. He is forty-seven years old and has served as a court advisor, royal counselor, honorary ambassador, foundation director, university council member, etc. , with nearly three dozen or so titles.There is nothing special about his appearance, talent, or strength. It is not prejudice to say that he is ordinary and harmless. Earl Elman Titania can be said to be a figure admired by everyone. He is neither the mainstream nor the end of the Titania family. He has ensured a considerable status and wealth, and his life is comfortable and comfortable.As a Titanian family, if you want to gain strong power and wealth, you must have superior talent, hard work and performance; if you are far away from competition, you can live comfortably, and you will be awarded several honorary titles to enjoy your life.As long as you don't have distorted aesthetics like Earl Arthurs, at least you won't die in an ordinary life.

The next day, the Association of Planet Management Officers held a symposium. The opening ceremony invited Earl Elman to give a speech. The nobles of Titania are most suitable for attending ceremonies or ceremonies. If there are multiple groups and organizations standing side by side in the society, there will be exchanges of gifts and favors.

After the short answer, Dr. Li accelerated his thinking again, and the conclusion has emerged, but it still needs to be confirmed. "Earl Elman, forgive me for speculating boldly, you seem to have other ideas about the next landless vassal, right?" Earl Elman didn't answer, and Dr. Li didn't pursue it. At this moment, both parties were spying on each other's inner thoughts.Dr. Li saluted silently to express his agreement with Earl Elman's proposal, and the unexpected negotiation result was established. Earl Elman arrived at the hotel an hour later than the scheduled time. He and Duke Jerix Titania had different rooms. If they share the same room, Earl Elman must feel very crowded.After the rectification, Earl Elman still paled and ordered the secretary to send a greeting letter to Duke Jalish.On the one hand, he deliberately avoided face-to-face conversations because he considered the convenience of Duke Jerish. Duke Jerish is a heroic man, and bringing a formal visit into the dormitory must have made him feel uncomfortable. "Earl Elman? Ah, I remember this man." Just as the count had expected, Jerry Xu, who received the letter in the dormitory, only knew him to such a degree.Although there is only the rank of Marquis between the Duke and the Earl, the Duke with the surname of Titania is equivalent to the ruler of the universe. The disparity between the two is as great as the distance between the Milky Way and other nebulae. After politely replying to Earl Elman, Jerix completely forgot about his fellow clansmen on the same planet. What he cared about was another clansman, Idris Titania, who was not the count. It was Yun Shangren who was on the same level as Zhe Lixu.Zhelixu received a congratulatory message and advice from Duke Chu Shilang, and at the same time someone informed that Duke Idris was jealous of his meritorious service. "I'm not afraid of that brat Idris, but Duke Chu Shilang is too worried." Zhelixu spat that he was only two years older than Idris, but his appearance made people feel that the difference between the two was more than ten years old, so Zhelixu always emphasized to Idris that he was the elder in words and deeds, and he He was also one year younger than the dukes of Albert and Chu Shilang, so he grew a beard to fill the gap, so that the outside world would think that he was older than the two dukes just by looking at his appearance.Observing it like this, we can see that Zhelixu deliberately created an old-fashioned impression. Maybe Zhelixu's political ability is far better than what Albert and Chu Shilang imagined. The approach is not so much a political trick, it might be better to call it tactical intimidation. In short, Zhe Lixu didn't care about Chu Shilang's congratulations, he just wanted to be the strongest person in Titania, that is, the highest existence in the universe. Although he was courteous to Chu Shilang, he couldn't understand the true value of this clan brother, Presumably Chu Shilang is the same, even if they come from the same blood and genes, they do not necessarily have the same spiritual world. There are countless precedents in history.
Zhelixu was upset, but his captive was also very depressed. Not only the freedom of movement, but also the freedom of taste was deprived. His request to eat vegetable omelet rice has never been fulfilled so far. It's gluten-free steaks, frozen salads, and unspecified soups that are definitely not made from human flesh. There was probably a sedative in the food, and the possibility was quite high. Fang Xiuli was not an easy-going personality, but he couldn't figure out how to escape, and his thinking ability obviously deviated from him. "It's too bad, maybe it's a lack of calcium." As he said that, he took a plastic knife to cut into the bran steak and thought for two seconds, then moved the knife again, and finally put down the knife and relied on fingers like primitive people.He cursed the heat of the steak while biting it, then stopped suddenly and got up. "Is this edible?" roared and threw the dishes at the monitor, "I'm going to flush this residue down the toilet!" After saying that, he grabbed the steak and rushed into the toilet. With a dead white face. Fang Xiuli vomited severely. He wanted to support the table with his hands but accidentally knocked over the tray. The utensils and food on the tray played a discordant symphony loudly.The monitor showed a fallen prisoner, and it was transmitted to the optic nerve of the guard drinking coffee. The guard panicked. If an important person dies, he will be unlucky.He dropped the coffee cup, which had been mostly half-drinked, so only a small amount of water spilled out of the cup. "Fang Xiuli is poisoned!" The four-character idiom of panic and panic immediately turned into a whirlwind and swept across the entire hotel, waking up the noble Duke Jerix Titania and the black-haired beauty who shared the bed.I thought Fang Xiuli was trying to commit suicide, but the report pointed out that he was poisoned. Zhe Lixu quickly changed into a military uniform, and his tall body appeared in front of the terrified subordinates. "Who did the good thing, find this troublesome guy for me immediately!" Following the Duke's roar, the hotel's exclusive doctor just walked in and told a fact that was beyond everyone's expectations. "The report is an order from His Excellency the Duke's mother." The doctor's surrender was also an accusation. Even the resolute Zhelixu was speechless, and could only stare at the weakened doctor. "Don't try to lie to me!" "No, I didn't lie to you. The Lingtang's order is to torture Fang Xiuli alive, so the poison in the food will not be fatal. Fang Xiuli's life is not in danger." Zhelixu's thick eyebrows twitched, his mother would indeed do such a thing, and when he admitted it, he had to accept the other party's excuse.He breathed slowly, letting his pent-up anger melt into a blurted sound. "Okay, I understand. If Fang Xiuli dies, you will be disobeying my mother's order. At that time, as the son of man, I will only ask you!" Zhelixu's giant fist hit the air, and the powerful blow seemed to generate wind pressure that made it almost impossible to stand still.The majestic young noble turned his back to the cowering crowd with a displeased face, and returned to the dormitory with loud footsteps on the marble floor. After gastric lavage, Fang Xiuli, who was still in a coma, was pulled up from the bottom of his consciousness by a call. "Admiral Fang Xiuli! Admiral Fang Xiuli!" "I'm not an admiral, but a colonel, because I only get the salary of a colonel, but everyone put the responsibility on me..." It is hard to imagine that this petty bourgeois dreamer is the public enemy of Titania. "I'm here to save you." These words permeated the entire subconscious mind, and the suffering hero finally opened his eyes.He was lying on a cart specially used for transporting corpses, his cheeks were covered by a white cloth, his eyes were blurred, and the face of the savior was located beyond the white veil of consciousness. "Are you the one who put the note in the food?" "Yes, fortunately you followed the instructions." There was no tone in the lowered voice. "Yeah, but I'm so sad." "That's just a simple emetic, it's better than being slaughtered by Duke Zhelish's mother." "Well, I think so too. By the way, I haven't asked who you are yet?" "An enemy of Titania." "Okay, that's enough." There was still anxiety, but Fang Xiuli blocked the confusion and questions in his heart.Leaving aside the real identity of the doctor, it is certain that he is not a friend of Julius Titania.Due to the lack of equipment in the hotel, Fang Xiuli was transferred to the hospital, which was of course also a hospital set up by Titania, but the half-dead people couldn't escape at all, so the security was relatively loose.All the plans went smoothly. From this incident, it can be seen that the proposer accurately read Zhelixu's psychology, and the person who "poisoned" should be responsible for treating Fang Xiuli.I had no hope at first, but in the end I still drew a lucky lottery. "Then the second half of the show is about to begin." "I'm worried about one thing." "What's up?" "What if I hiccup?" Faced with this lack of tension, the doctor answered coldly. "Then continue to play dead, I will escape as soon as possible, don't worry." So Fang Xiuli was carted to the mortuary with a white cloth covering his head. It was difficult for a living person to experience that the skin of a dead person had no yang energy.After counting the one hundred and fortieth sheep, the doctor whispered: "It's a guard, relax!" The question just now was just to make fun of the doctor, but this prank seemed to have offended some god. Fang Xiuli felt a strange sense of disobedience in his chest and throat, and before he realized something was wrong, the dwarf's throat suddenly exploded. "Hicc!" Fang Xiuli hiccupped, and the gray-clothed soldier standing in the corridor moved, looking suspiciously at the white cloth.The doctor wearing a mask was about to pass in front of the soldier at his original pace, when doubts finally overcame hesitation, and the soldier let out a threatening roar. "Let me see the body..." The end of the soldier's speech was silenced, because the volume far exceeded the human voice flooded into the auditory field. It was an explosion, and the doctor's clenched palm pressed the detonation switch.The explosion occurred in the unoccupied quilt storage room, with violent flames, smoke and loud noises flying. This is a bomb used to scare the mob. It will not cause harm but at least cause a commotion.The soldier's doubts flew away on the blast. He grabbed the pistol holster and rushed to the explosion site, breaking through the vortex of chaos and noise. Just as he was about to walk out of the hospital, he was questioned by other soldiers. "Hey, wait, stop!" After three consecutive words with short syllables, the muzzle of the hypnotic gas gun in the soldier's hand was pointed at the doctor, but the muzzle of the gun did not complete the assigned task. The soldier's expression was blank, his fingers hung on the trigger, and he fell forward without a sound. Kissed the marble floor.The doctor's hesitation was instantly wiped out, and he pushed the cart and rushed out, and the white clothes were also raised.The hapless soldiers were left unconscious, while Louis Edmund Badgers stood where he was. "What happened? It seems that our competitors are one step ahead of us." Louis Edmund Badgers muttered something, and conveniently put the short needle gun into the inner pocket of his overalls. He originally had a high shooting rate of 77%. Badgers stepped out of the street with his head bowed, thankful he only fired one shot this time.The street was full of vehicles, half of which were engraved with Titania's family crest, and the hospital was surrounded by a human wall made of gray military uniforms, which radiated hostility and responsibility like white blood cells that detected pathogenic bacteria invading the human body.While running, Badgers flinched in his heart: Titania is definitely not incompetent, it's just that the god of luck didn't favor them for a few seconds this time, that's all, that's all, who wants to blame this time? Who is responsible for the incident?Maybe even Jerry Xu Titania himself has something to watch... So the exiled hero Fang Xiuli brushed past the approaching death again. This was the second time, and no one could guarantee that it would be the last.
