52. Calculating
Lu Shiqing was stunned for a moment before replying, "It should be?"
In fact, he is not too sure, he vaguely remembers that the earth associates the five elements with tea, and except for flower tea, the types of tea are actually six, and the other five kinds of tea have corresponding five elements and organs, except for green tea, there is only a general description between black tea and green tea.
The tea system of Mengya is more intuitive, black tea is fire, green tea is wood, green tea is water, yellow tea is earth, white tea is light, and black tea is dark. Lu Shiqing can now be sure that only black tea is the same as fire, and white tea and black tea are definitely different, after all, the theory of the five elements does not contain the two elements of light and dark. And the five elements contain water, which is definitely different from Mengya's green tea.
Without waiting for Lu Shiqing to figure it out, Abel said: "Then don't hand in the task yet." Even if I hand it in now, I'm not a wood-attribute tomcat, so I can't test it for you. Since the system has different levels, the task rewards may also be different, so it is better to wait for a higher grade tea to be handed in. As for the tea set you mentioned, there is nothing that you can't make when you return to the capital star. ”
Thinking about it, this is indeed the truth, although Lu Shiqing had a certain resistance to learning tea before, but he did not refuse to drink tea, and he did not need to make it by himself, and he could still describe several commonly used tea utensils after watching the third sister perform tea art. So they simply ignored the tasks of the system and instead cared about their current situation.
It's been more than ten days since they set off, and it should have been a mess outside. It doesn't matter what the other people think, the key is what his brothers and sisters should think? Alan is estimated to be able to communicate with the Capital Star, but in the few days since entering this unnamed planet, they have not received any communication from Allen, indicating that they have not yet thought of a way to get in touch. In this case, how can someone who cares about them not be in a hurry?
"Rest assured. Abel comforted him, "Did you just remember? Bojin will take care of it, I expected that there might be an accident, so I asked Alan to follow him all the way." Bojin will probably use this opportunity to do something. ”
Lu Shiqing didn't understand this very well, and Abel explained a little embarrassedly: "Grandfather still has expectations for Connie after all, if she refuses to stop, she can only hand over the ironclad evidence to the court." ”
That's right. As many people get older, they attach more importance to family harmony and lose their original judgment. Every family will have the matter of competing for the head of the family, as long as this kind of competition is benign, even if it uses some commercial means, it can turn a blind eye, but like Connie, if you shoot directly, it can't be considered healthy competition at all.
If Marshal Yue is willing to investigate in detail, how can the forces at the marshal's disposal not find out? It's just that he is not very willing to investigate in his heart. And the rest of the Yue family is either not able to investigate, or they are happy to see it happen for various reasons, or because Marshal Yue's attitude is not very easy to interfere. However, this matter is Abel's life, and he can't go down to such an unknown virgin.
However, Lu Shiqing also watched more about this kind of thing, and said with some concerns: "Although I am very much in favor of making Connie look good, whether it is to let her go to court or kill her in private, but if it is really done, will the marshal have an opinion?"
After all, no matter how Connie did it, it was all in secret, and it just happened that Abel didn't really have anything wrong. And going to court is real, even if you know that the verdict is fair, but some parents will think that you have to be unforgiving. At first glance, it seems incredible, but Lu Shiqing has seen a lot of this kind of thing on the earth.
"I don't want to get to this point, I just hope she can stop in time. Abel sighed and said, "Connie likes to be the head of the house, I don't really disagree with it, at most I think she is not suitable." You can't take your own life to back down, can you?"
Lu Shiqing agrees with this very much, especially when he is also included in the person who gave his life. What about saying that all the stars cherish their cubs?! What about saying that good interstellar pirates will not abuse cubs?! He doesn't believe this conclusion very much now!
Just when Lu Shiqing and Abel were pretending to die in the mountains and rivers before exploring the stars, the struggle of the capital star was in full swing. Constance was unexpectedly smart, and did not directly intervene in the matter of finding Abel, nor did she go to the ring with the Lu family siblings. It doesn't mean that she didn't do anything, you must know that she is not the only one in this family who is looking forward to Abel's death, and even when everyone thinks that she can't compete for the head of the family, Victor and Vansey are the ones who want Abel to have an accident the most.
It's not that Constance is willing to grind and chirp so much, it's really that the effect of her direct shot is not good, she thought that a failure to advance could destroy Abel's foundation, but she didn't expect that the other party had nothing at all, but went to the next level. She had even decided on the person to blame at that time, not Zara, but another servant under her who was in charge of transportation. Everyone knew that she had a bit of a young lady's temper, and she deliberately humiliated the servant and asked him to bring tea to Abel, just to call herself "not strict with the emperor" afterwards.
If it weren't for Danny's affair later, she was afraid that things wouldn't stand up to scrutiny, and she wouldn't have given up Zara. This time the matter is also after her careful consideration, the power on the other side of the black market Lizzie is not as easy to take care of as Zara, plus a series of accidents she feels that Marshal and Admiral Mei Li are not dead, if it is found out that she is behind the instigation, she is afraid that her fate will not be good.
Coupled with Lu Shilu's rank as an eighth-level tea tamer, I have to say that Constance has a deep sense of crisis. Although the other party is still only a new eighth-level tea tamer, it is not enough to enter the ranking of the top ten female cats, but the other party is much younger than her, and it is foreseeable that such a day is not far away. Once she is squeezed out of that position, many of the forces in her hands will be wiped out. For example, she has been operating on the black market......
At first, Constance just planned to find a place for his surplus tea, compared to the cheapness of other formal channels, the profits of the black market are undoubtedly much higher, not only can he quickly create a fortune, but also do not have to worry about follow-up problems after using a fake identity. She didn't have the idea that she was making trouble for Fan Xi - that straw bale hadn't been promoted for so many years, it wasn't that someone else would do it if she did this business, and he wouldn't be able to catch it anyway.
Zara has been playing the role of a nobleman in the black market, who can easily get tea above level eight, and not only has a lot of business but also a considerable number of thugs. Everyone knows what is going on here, if there is no support from some nobles, how can the black market not be banned for so many years?
With the recent events, Constance began to feel that the power at hand was a little dangerous, and her association with the Lu family gave her inspiration. It is better to blame the black market business on the side branch of the Lu family, and the Lu family did not clearly divide the family after all, if the side branch was involved in such a major event as the black market case, the Lu family sisters and brothers would not be able to please him. Even the title that was unclear in the Noble Council could be completely revoked as a result.
Constance couldn't allow it, and the cub who thought she was helpless turned into a noble cub, and even had an older sister who could squeeze her out of the top ten female cat rankings. Under the situation of eliminating the advantages of the other, what advantage does she have in front of Abel? But blaming the Lu family for the black market business is simply a multiplicity, on the one hand, she can hide herself, and on the other hand, she can also block Abel.
Lu Pengcheng, who is far away as a tea star, naturally doesn't know Constance's intentions, and is still complacent about getting support to crack down on the business of the Lu family's sisters and brothers. In fact, for so many years, in addition to worrying about the noble management house, he also felt that a few little guys couldn't make any waves. But since the other party caught up with the brigadier general, it seems that the business has begun to get bigger and bigger. Originally, the other party did not come back to compete for the Lu family's property, no matter how big the business was, there would be no loss to them.
But the weak-hearted person always sees the problem differently from others, since he can use the young lady of the Yue family to fight for the title, won't the other party also fight for it in the name of the brigadier general? After all, when the strength of the two sides is equal, those kittens are much more justifiable than their side branches. For this purpose, Lu Pengcheng gladly accepted Constance's help, not only vigorously dumping low-grade tea to squeeze the market space of the Lu family sisters and brothers, but also using his strength to recreate the air crash more than 20 years ago.
The former has achieved a certain success, and Lu Shiqing's disappearance has dealt a big blow to the Lu family siblings who have found their younger brother easily, and they have no intention of taking into account the commercial competition of tea stars, but are bent on finding how to save their younger brother. As for the latter, Lu Shibai wanted to personally go to the star field where they disappeared to investigate, but was stopped by Bo Jin, and no one knew how they negotiated, and the result was that the matter of finding someone had not yet taken shape, which made Lu Pengcheng, who wanted to do it, have no chance.
What happened to Abel and Lu Shiqing, of course, can't be completely hidden from the family. The statement from Bo Jin is that for the time being, it is only "attacked by interstellar pirates", and the starship has been forced to land on a planet with a strange magnetic field, and it is temporarily impossible to get in touch, but most of the facilities of the starship are intact, and as long as the forced landing is done properly, the two of them will not worry about their lives.
Constance did not relent, trying to persuade the Marshal of the covenant who was not moving: "Grandfather, how can you trust Bojin and Allen? I think this accident was completely caused by them, Allen has always served as Abel's second captain, with his ability, if he didn't have a good family background, he would have become a commodore long ago, how could he be happy and convinced of Abel? Bojin has been pursuing Allen for a long time, and he is completely helping each other to speak, what kind of interstellar pirates have anyone seen?" I'm afraid it's all their excuses, grandfather, you must do your best to control them, otherwise Abel will be in danger!"
I have to say that Constance's words turned out to be quite reasonable. She successfully persuaded Fancy to lead a team to search for the whereabouts of Abel and the others, but Fancy couldn't wait for what she said to be true, and there was still someone to blame Abel when he died, is there anything better than this? Otherwise, Fancy was passive and slack, Constance had to use the dark line by Fansy's side to trick the other party into finding out Abel's real life and death, and it would be better if he didn't die and make up for it.
