Chapter 173: Relationships
According to his estimates, when he was about to reach the surface on the other side of the meteorite, the stairs finally came to an end, and there was a bright light in front of him, and the ground under his feet was paved with large pieces of alloy steel. The corners of Li Dong's mouth couldn't help twitching, these alloy floors, looking at the style and shape, seem to be only available from space navigation equipment similar to spaceships, they can't be directly removed from the robbed spaceship, right? If that's the case, these intelligent robots are really environmentally friendly!
He followed the flow of detainees, and entered a room, which was very large and empty, and very tall, and looked like it was more than ten meters, and only at the highest place above the ground did a small window be opened, through which the light could be seen shining outside.
Li Dong raised his eyebrows. This is a typical large cell, but I didn't expect to be locked up in a larger cell just after coming out of Allure Prison. It's really fateful!
When almost everyone in the VIP area entered the large cell, an intelligent robot slammed the iron door of the room. Well, now they're officially detained.
Li Dong sat in a small corner, watching the nobles of the empire, scattered, looking around and looking in this room, as if they were naΓ―ve, trying to find some loopholes.
Laugh.
"Can I sit here?" said Arranthus, smiling, asking the former, Reykja Weike, who had a sarcastic smile on his face.
Li Dong looked at this guy who was completely different from others, but he was a little impressed, and for the first time he seriously looked at the middle-aged nobleman in front of him. A gray suit, there is not much brilliance, obedient clean hair, thin sideburns, compared with those other nobles who are so nervous that their hair and clothes are crooked, but it shows his deep city government and self-cultivation. The first one signed his own unequal agreement with him, which shows that this person is very decisive, and has this kind of temperament and mentality that does not change color in front of the landslide, which makes it difficult for Li Dong to believe that this guy is a nobleman who has declined to take a civilian spaceship for space tourism.
Li Dong nodded at Yalanshi, and didn't mean to get up, just glanced to the side and motioned for him to sit there. Yalanshi didn't have an aristocratic style, he didn't even wipe the black floor, he just sat down, looked at Li Dong with blazing eyes, didn't speak, and waited for Li Dong to speak first.
Li Dong didn't speak, the two of them seemed to start competing for their patience, silently watching the people in the room doing useless work, touching the wall inch by inch with their hands, from the cautious and careful at the beginning, the eyes were full of careful expectations, and then gradually anxious and annoyed, until the final disappointment and frustration.
As if they had made an appointment, Li Dong and Yalanshi opened their mouths almost at the same time and said a word softly.
"Idiot!"
"Stupid!"
Seeing the faint surprise and friendly smile on the other party's face, Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, your name is Yalanshi? Jeffel, right? Although I have not heard your name before, judging by your words and deeds and the way everyone looks at you, I think you should not be a nobody." If you don't feel rude, can you tell me how you got to the point where you had to fly in a civilian spaceship?"
For a nobleman, their dignity is second only to their lives, and some people are even more dignity than life.
Yalanshi smiled bitterly, but there was no embarrassed look on his face, but he said calmly: "Just like the founding king of the empire, His Majesty Sandra I, the wise and martial god, who suffered the great rout of Curiso Star when attacking the Western Empire, my family is suffering the most cruel test in history. I don't know if Your Excellency Reykja has heard of the resource stars that our Shenwu Empire is competing with those barbarians in the Western Empire, which is the planetary belt on the border between the two countries and known as the interstellar pearl chain. β
Li Dong smiled. How could Lao Tzu not know, I was still working hard there not long ago, and I almost lost my life there! But Li Dong is now playing the role of a noble son of a nobleman who has lived in the capital area for a long time, of course, he can't show much reaction, so he can only smile and say tentatively: "I heard that although the supply line of the Western Empire was cut off by us a few months ago, the army of the empire fought a beautiful turnaround, thus promoting the process of the two countries at the negotiating table. But the negotiations did not reach a day, and then on the border between us and the Western Empire, there was still small-scale friction between the two armies of the Eastern and Western Empires. β
Uncle, what does this have to do with your family?
Yalanshi smiled, his smile was full of vicissitudes, and he only heard him say: "The territory of the Jeffel family is near the planetary belt of the interstellar pearl chain, and it is close to the side of the Western Empire. And it was our Jeffel family who discovered those resource stars. β
Li Dong raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect to see such a tragic character. Originally, according to the planetary laws implemented by the empire, those who discovered the resource star would get a part of the mining and operation rights. But these are all on the premise that there will be no war, once there is a war, not to mention those things that are not boundary, it is estimated that even their own nests will be vacated and used as a command center for the army.
"So, you moved your family to the metropolitan area?"
"After arriving, I realized that it is not easy to live in the capital!"
"Brother, I really don't know if you're lucky or bad!" Li Dong smiled and patted Yalanshi.
The latter smiled wryly. Naturally, it's bad, otherwise I wouldn't have taken a good spaceship and ended up being imprisoned here, and I was patted on the shoulder by a guy who was more than ten years younger than myself and called a brother.
While the two were talking, suddenly, the alloy door of the room was slammed open. I saw an intelligent robot pointing at the old Henry near the door and saying, "You, follow me!"
"What do you want to do? Do you know that we are all the noble class of the Shenwu Empire......" The baron-to-be who was knocked unconscious twice by Li Dong on the spaceship at the beginning seemed to have a close relationship with Old Henry, and as soon as he saw that Old Henry was going to be taken by the other party and didn't know where, he immediately jumped out and shouted.
However, his useless shouting did not last long before it came to an abrupt end. A sharp blow to the knee struck him in the abdomen, and the loud thud caused the crowd to retreat from the crowd that had come to protect old Henry. I saw that the baron-to-be fell to his knees in response, and the whole person shrank into a shrimp shape, and opened his mouth wide and snorted in pain.
"Baron Robert, don't be presumptuous, I'll go with them. I want to see what these hateful guys are going to do with an imperial viscount!" Old Henry was very tough, straightened his shirt, and walked out with the intelligent robot proudly.
"This guy is a tragedy!" Li Dong grinned, looking at Lord Robert Quasi-Baron who was lying on the ground and almost spit out yellow water, shaking his head and sighing, "These guys obviously know our identities very well, so they will detain us together, and at this time, they still use this kind of bullying of civilians and sheriffs, I want to say if this guy's brain has been broken?"
Yalanshi frowned, ignored Li Dong's ridicule, and asked worriedly, "What will they do to Old Henry?"
"I don't know!" Li Dong replied straightforwardly, with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, without any ashamed expression.
Yalanshi's eyes widened, he couldn't maintain his aristocratic and elegant image, looked at Li Dong in disbelief, and couldn't even say anything to question for a while. If this guy wasn't talking nonsense with his eyes open, then how could he have such strong self-confidence before to save so many nobles who had signed agreements with him?
"The old man didn't sign an agreement with me, and I wasn't responsible for his personal safety. Besides, you must know that it is not easy, and the next person to be taken out will know!" As he spoke, Li Dong stood up suddenly, like an old farmer sitting on the ridge, patted the dust behind his buttocks, and didn't care at all about the Yalanshi who was still sitting next to him, and he didn't have the elegant demeanor of the nobles at all, and walked over slowly.
