Chapter 363: Brothers Reminisce
"Brother Xi, don't sell Guanzi, what's the problem?" Yu Zhibo said anxiously.
"Bogo, you don't know. Arik, the archon of Lanyu, has never supported the Proxima Centauri Project. Di Xi said.
"I've heard of that. But what does this have to do with sending Hou Lao and them to Haiyaxing? Yu Zhibo still looked puzzled.
"Don't you understand what the hell is the authorities?" Zi Qianhong also reacted, "Even if the sinners are left to fend for themselves, he Aric will not push them to the side of the Cosmic Drifting Group." β
"Qianhong is right, in the past few years, Alik has actually deeply felt the threat of the Cosmic Drifting Group to him." Shi Sui explained.
"Although the Cosmic Drifting Group was formed by the union of the five planets, it has been expanding in strength over the years. It now has the potential to become the sixth power, independent of the Triad Galactic Alliance. Zi Qianhong added, "And as the Lanyu Star recognized as the strongest comprehensive strength in the triple galaxy, it will never sit idly by and watch the cosmic drifting group continue to grow. β
"And before, Maple Lianxing fully supported the cosmic drifting group, and it has already released such a signal to Arik." Feng Ying'er also said.
"So if there is such a big disturbance this time, if Alik is forced to hurry, maybe he will directly send an army to wipe out those people. If you are in a hurry, you will harm Hou Lao and them. Di Xi finally said.
"Now I know." Yu Zhibo sat down dejectedly, "But what should we do next?" Brother Xi, you have the most ghost ideas, and it's up to you to figure out a way this time. β
Everyone turned their attention to Di Xi. Di Xi said in his heart, what's the matter, when you want to conspire, you think of me again? However, under the expectant gaze of everyone, Di Xi could only say helplessly: "I haven't thought of all the methods yet, I still need to collect more information." It's best to go to the core area of Lan Yu Star to get to know it. β
"This one is on me." Yu Zhibo said, "It just so happens that tomorrow I have to go back home, and I have to go to the 'Royal Hotel'." I can take you with me. β
"That's great!" Xia Muyao said, "Abo, you just bring us into the city." After that, you just have to do your own business first, and leave the information gathering to us. β
"What about Sister Zi and Uncle Shi?" Maple Shadow asked.
"I don't have to." Zi Qianhong shook her head and said, "My identity is still quite sensitive, and I will also go back to my people tomorrow." β
"Then I'll go with Qianhong, so I can take care of it." Stone Years Road.
"Thank you, Brother Shi."
"Senior Zi, if you have Uncle Shi with you, we will also be relieved." Xia Muyao said.
"Well, everyone get off early. Tomorrow morning, everyone will set off separately. Di Xi finally said.
Just when Di Xi and the others were planning tomorrow's action. In the inner city of the Imperial City of Lanyu Star Capital, the residence of the consul Arik, the arrival of an unexpected person made the all-encompassing Aric have to put down his work.
"Aknan, this stinky boy, after so many years away from home, you finally know that you are back!" Aric angrily shouted at the man who was facing away from him and looking at the furnishings of the mansion.
"I said Commander Arik, I haven't seen him for so many years, and his temper is still so short-tempered!" The man turned his head,
Looked at Aric playfully. If Di Xi and they were here, they would be surprised. Because this person called Aknan is none other than Jing Nan, who is drinking and chatting with them at the "late-night restaurant".
"You bastard!" Aric ran over and gave Aknan a hug at once.
"Brother, don't do this. You are the head of Lan Yuxing, what kind of system is this? Aknan patted Aric on the back and said.
"What's this, it's all my own brothers. And this is my private mansion, so who would dare to peep into it? Aric said dismissively.
"It's worthy of being a big brother, or so domineering!" Aknam laughed.
"Okay, stop talking this nonsense." Aric let go of his hand and said, "And remember, don't call me the FΓΌhrer in front of people. The head of Lan Yuxing is still nominally a member of the Yu royal family. β
"I didn't expect that at this time, the eldest brother was still so cautious. Don't worry, I'll be sure to pay attention. Aknan replied.
"Come on, come on, we two brothers haven't seen each other for so many years, we should have a drink!" Aric said as he pressed the button in his hand. The living room of the mansion was immediately transformed into a very elaborate wine cellar.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, my eldest brother is still very keen on the pursuit of fine wine!" "It's a pity that I've tasted wine elsewhere before I came here." β
"Oh, really?" Arik was surprised, "What kind of big hotel can attract a gourmand like you?" β
"It's not a big hotel, it's just a humble eatery." "But I have an unexpected gain in it." Arknam said, pulling out a bottle of wine from the space bag. This is the Haiya Star wine that came from the opening banquet of the "Late Night Restaurant".
"Where did this bottle come from, why didn't it have any packaging. Have you passed our food safety quarantine? Aric said solemnly.
"Big brother, don't be so joking in front of me." As he spoke, Aknan opened the cap of the bottle, and the smell of wine overflowed.
"Anan, what is this wine made of, how come I have never smelled such a strange aroma?" Aric sighed. You must know that with Aric's power and dedication to wine collection, almost all the fine wines of the entire Triad Galaxy are included in his private wine cellar.
"I don't know about that, but I can ask for you when I have a chance." "But I'd better let you taste it first!" Aknam said, pouring out a glass of sake and passing it over.
Aric took the glass and greedily sucked it clean. "The fragrance is fragrant, as intoxicating as the flowers on the maple star, but it also has the remoteness of the deep sea of Lanyu star." Immediately after, Aric took a careful sip, and his tightly knit brows instantly stretched.
"It's extremely crisp in the mouth, but it's so mellow in the aftertaste. It's not too much to say that it's fairy brew. Arik said, "Anan, you must tell me where this wine is sold, and I can buy it at a high price." β
"I also know the place, and I can run for you if I have the chance." Aknam said.
"That's great, you know I'm not good at what I do. And it's also inconvenient to go to unknown places openly. Aric said helplessly.
"I can understand this, and I'm more than happy to do my eldest brother a small favor." Aknam punned.
"Oh, then you
How long are you going to stay in Lan Yuxing this time. Alik suddenly regained his serious expression, "I'm afraid that if I entrust you with a heavy responsibility, you idle cloud and wild crane will stop doing it one day." I'm going to clean up the mess for you again. β
"It's not up to me, it's up to big brother." "As long as this important task is challenging, I can stay in Lan Yuxing forever." β
"Don't worry, I'll make you satisfied." Aric picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "What do you say about the position of the commander of the army of Yuhuang City?" β
Connan was stunned, but soon regained his composure. "With such a heavy task to be handed over to me, does the eldest brother have a big move?"
"It's not that time for the time being, it's just such a key position I hope to hand over to someone I can trust." Aric had an imperceptible smile on his face.
"That's no problem, I'll take this job." Aknam said lightly.
"I can give you the seat, but whether you can suppress the officers in the army depends on you." Aric said.
"Don't worry! In the past few years, I've not just been out looking for food. "Aknan looked confident.
"That's good! Today you will live in my mansion, and tomorrow I will personally take you to the headquarters of the Yuhuangcheng Military Region. Aric said.
"Okay, no problem." Aknan agreed, "By the way, when I came to Lan Yu Xing, I heard that the eldest brother was going to pass a bill of 'Lan Yu Elimination Plan'?" And the objects are all those who are slaves and lowly people? β
"Yes, there's no way around it. The Ministry of Science and Technology has already submitted a report to me, and with the current consumption of resources on Lan Yu, it is impossible to afford too much population. If measures are not taken, within a few decades, the planet's resources will be completely depleted. Arik explained.
"Then why are those people targeted?" "And not the annoying moths?" β
"Anan, it's not for me to decide. There are too many interests involved. "And the number of those lowly people is extremely large, and the contribution to Lan Yuxing is too big compared to the elite class. β
"But I met these people today, and they are not as unbearable as I thought." Akenam Road.
"Anan, when did you become so indecisive and kind to a woman?" "Don't forget how our father died. β
Listening to Arik's words, Aknan's expression suddenly became solemn. "Rest assured, I will never forget my father's death. He died protecting the slaves. Aknan's tone was also full of gloom.
"To achieve great things, it is indeed necessary to sacrifice some lowly lives. And haven't you always wanted to get rid of those moths? Aric continued, "Clean the flowers of the pests, and get rid of the weeds next to the flowers. Anan, you say yes, yes. β
"What the eldest brother said is extremely true!" Arknam said as he drank the contents of the cup again.
The night was already very deep, and suddenly a bright light flashed, and a dark shadow came out of the "Midnight Restaurant", and then disappeared into the deep night.
The sleeping Zi Qianhong was awakened by the nightmare and sat up from the bed at once. "I suddenly had a bad feeling." Zi Qianhong muttered to herself.
"Huh? What about Brother Shi? Zi Qianhong suddenly found that Shi Sui, who had been sitting beside her and guarding him, had disappeared without a trace.
