Chapter 43: Flickering
Seeing Zhang Tianjiu on the Royal Glory, Old Perry was really taken aback.
"Mr. Zhang?"
Old Perry is no longer in a wheelchair now, although he is not athletic, but he has no problem moving freely. People also look much younger, and they are really refreshed. The fall of the city of Mali, the destruction of his career, and the forced displacement of his homeland did not seem to have caused him much trouble.
In fact, he has been trying to contact Zhang Tianjiu, such a good personal bodyguard candidate, Old Perry really doesn't want to give up, even if it costs a lot, it's worth it. It's a pity that Zhang Tianjiu didn't leave him useful contact information.
This person is elusive and always appears in front of you when you don't expect it.
But when we met on the Royal Glory, it was a bit of a surprise.
Old Perry knew that the crew of the Royal Glory was almost entirely composed of the great nobles of the first caste, their families and important servants, and very few of the minor nobles of the second caste.
Not that qualification.
Old Perry is a first-class caste, a first-class celebrity in Mali, and this time it took a lot of effort to get on the Royal Glory. But he only got five places, and he had to let his little wives and children escape on those low-grade spaceships under the protection of some loyal subordinates.
It's not that Old Perry cares so much about enjoyment, the key is safety.
The two Montani-class cruise ships, the Royal Glory and the Royal Ark, did not have much combat power in themselves, but since Governor Gregory was on board, there must be a protective force. Sure enough, the remnants of the Noray local fleet followed.
At least it can effectively deter pirates.
In this star field where Noray Star is located, there are a lot of pirates.
Ultra-luxurious Montani-class cruise ships like the Royal Glory and the Ark Royal are coveted targets for any pirate gang. Not to mention the capture of such a cruise ship, on weekdays, as long as a big nobleman of the first class is tied, it is enough for them to eat and drink for several years.
However, with so many warships escorting, even if they are all small ships, it is not something that pirate gangs can covet.
But Zhang Tianjiu ......
And it's still that ruffian.
It seemed that he was not the only ruffian, there were a bunch of them, six or seven, and everyone was eating and drinking in the luxurious cafeteria, as if no one was around. attracted the attention of the surrounding nobles, and some of them were already blushing, and it seemed that they were ready to come over at any time to scold and teach them.
Old Perry's mind turned, and he immediately understood, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Mr. Zhang, congratulations, you have taken the line of Lord Governor." ”
In his mind, the only reason why Zhang Tianjiu could appear on the Royal Glory was the Governor of Gregory. I heard from a friend that the second son of Governor Gregory had returned safely from Uma City, which should be Zhang Tianjiu's credit.
Governor Gregory was grateful for his kindness in saving his son, and seeing that he was very skillful, he recruited him to stay by his side and serve.
This is the most plausible explanation.
It's still the governor's big brand, and he is a step slower.
The other big nobles may also be afraid of this, so they have tolerated it so far, and have not spoken out to reprimand these inferior people who do not understand the rules. Maybe it's a personal bodyguard of a big man or something.
Being able to bring six or seven inferior bodyguards on board the ship at one time is not something that ordinary nobles can do.
Zhang Tianjiu smiled, his smile was full of indescribable mystery, and he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Perry, are you interested in making a deal?"
Old Perry raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked quietly and rhetorically, "What deal?"
"License. ”
"Mogard's gambling license, I wonder if Mr. Perry is interested?"
"What?"
Rao is old Perry's cultivation is very good, and he has already reached the realm of pampering and not being shocked, and he was still taken aback when he heard the words.
"Mogard's gaming license?"
Zhang Tianjiu nodded again and again, his face trembling with little fat.
Old Perry looked at Zhang Tianjiu in disbelief, his mind was like a computer, calculating at high speed.
Mogard is the capital of the Vesy Empire, and it is also the largest and most prosperous city in the Vesy Empire, with a history of more than 1,000 years. The gambling industry is one of Mogard's major industries, attracting countless gamblers every year.
Old Perry's Defonk House is a big scene in Mali, and even in the whole of Norey, but it's nothing compared to Mogaard's gambling industry. Barely comparable, the difference between the C600 light gunboat and the HMS Royal Glory.
Now that Mali has fallen, the old Perry's career has completely collapsed, and after going to Mogaard, he definitely wants to make a comeback.
But the license of the Mogard gaming industry is not generally difficult to obtain.
With Perry Sr.'s connections, there is no certainty at the moment.
And now, this bald soldier of the fourth caste told him that he could help him get a gambling license in Mogaard.
"Mr. Zhang, are you serious?"
Zhang Tianjiu smiled, as if he didn't bother to answer such a question at all.
"If you're interested, I can get one for you, of course, it costs a little money, and you know that, right?"
Zhang Tianjiu laughed cunningly.
He really needs money now, the last time he treated Old Perry, the 800,000 Galaxy coins that Old Perry gave him had already been spent when he was modifying the Silver Wolf Mecha. Now Zhang Jiuye is shy.
But Zhang Jiuye is now a person with a girl.
The Phillip Hotel took away Caroline's first time, can she settle in the kennel later?
Since you want to pretend to be forced, you have to pretend to the end.
This is Zhang Tianjiu's principle of picking up girls!
It's just that pretending to be forced is very expensive. Old Perry's unjust head is sent to the door, and he will not be slaughtered for nothing.
Old Perry immediately said: "Of course, of course, as long as Mr. Zhang can help with this, the cost is negotiable." ”
Zhang Tianjiu stretched out two fingers with a smile and said, "Okay, this number." When you get to Mogaard, I'll get you a license plate, pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other!"
"Two million?"
Old Perry didn't think about it and nodded immediately.
Zhang Tianjiu smiled: "Two million? Mr. Perry, do you want to get a roadside store?"
Old Perry knew that he wanted to be left, this dead bald head really knew the market, and it was definitely not two hundred and five.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, don't be angry, it's my slip of the tongue. As long as Mr. Zhang gets me a license, I will pay 20 million Galaxy coins. One hand of money and one hand of goods, never in arrears. ”
Old Perry immediately changed his tune.
In fact, even if it is 20 million, it is still very cost-effective to get a license plate in Mogaad.
20 million Galaxy Coins, which sounds like a lot, is actually the price of a brand new sixth-generation mecha. This is also why so far in the Weixi Empire, the army is still mainly equipped with third-generation mechas, and it really can't afford to burn that money!
The modern army is actually fighting for economic strength.
"Okay, deal!"
Zhang Tianjiu smiled and stretched out his fat hand and shook it with Old Perry.
When you get this money, you can buy a few sets of outfits for everyone. As a mercenary, he doesn't even have a working mecha, which is too shabby. Of course, the cost of raising Caroline must be listed separately and given priority.
Zhang Jiuye is a bastard and a bastard, and he is never stingy with his own women.
As long as Caroline is with him for a day, he has to raise it for a day, and he has to take care of it. One day, this girl will get tired of his big bald head, and she will have to find someone else.
In today's society, it is common for men and women to get together and disperse, and no one can tie anyone up for a lifetime.
However, in the world, there will always be accidents, and it is difficult to achieve expectations.
Just as the nobles in the restaurant got up and left, disdainful of being in the company of a few inferior people, a loud roll call sounded.
"Governor Gregory has arrived!"
All the nobles who were about to leave stopped and looked at the door, a gentle smile on their faces. Old Perry also began to organize his dress. In fact, when each of them goes out, they are dressed very formally.
Now on this spaceship, there are many celebrities, and you may meet three or four hot big people in the corridor. Some old-school aristocrats are very polite and polite, and if they are rude, they will be treated differently.
Only Zhang Tianjiu and his mercenary team are still so indifferent, so careless.
Berry didn't even lift his head, he was still eating and drinking.
What Lord Governor, it is definitely not as attractive as fried chicken legs.
A tall and handsome middle-aged man walked over from the door, with an elegant and calm bearing. This person, whom everyone has seen countless times on TV, is none other than the former supreme ruler of Nore Star, Governor Gregory.
He was cousin of the now reigning Emperor Gregory V.
Two blond teenagers followed him.
One of them is Zhang Tianjiu's old acquaintance, Young Master Tolsi. The one next to Tolsy should be his brother Adams. The two brothers don't look much alike, Tolsie is softer, and Adams has a resolute expression and stiff facial lines, and at first glance you know that he is the kind of person with a tough personality and is extremely strong.
Legend has it that Adams was also the first in line to the throne of Governor Gregory.
The one who followed behind Tolsi was also Zhang Tianjiu's old acquaintance, Mr. Pike, the chief butler.
Mr. Pike, apparently, was still a little unruly in his walking, and was trying to keep himself from being rude.
Zhang Tianjiu kicked a few feet at the Phillip Hotel and broke many of Parker's bones. Despite the extreme development of modern medicine, it was difficult for Pike to recover to his original condition in just a few days.
When Zhang Tianjiu started, he never showed mercy.
"Your Excellency the Governor......"
"Your Excellency the Governor......"
As soon as Governor Gregory stepped into the restaurant, he was greeted one after another.
The Governor slowed down, smiled and nodded to everyone, and stopped to shake hands with some of the older nobles and have a few words. This is also necessary for aristocratic etiquette.
Suddenly, a voice screamed.
"There are assassins!"
"Mr. Governor, there are assassins!"
There was a sudden chaos in the restaurant, and the sound of "bangbang" was endless, but it was countless cups and dishes that were broken.
