December 19, 2507. The second star domain, Xinghuang Autonomous Prefecture.

After Xinghuang's fleet approached, Long Qicong directly confirmed the size of the opponent's fleet from the screen.

There are a total of twenty large and small ships, but what makes Long Qicong strange is that there are a total of four warships with different painting styles in the opponent's fleet.

It didn't take long for a communication request to be sent from the other side. After the technical review, it was received in front of Zhu Di. Zhu Di did not hesitate and connected the communication.

Surprisingly, the displayed picture was divided into four parts, showing the four forces of the pastoral domain, including the herdsmen. It was only then that Long Qi reacted to why a fleet would have four different styles of painting styles.

At first, Long Qicong thought that these twenty ships belonged to one family, but it turned out that they were actually a mixed fleet of four families? Xinghuang casually dispatched a "huge fleet" of twenty-seven ships.

As a result, the hegemon of one side can only come up with four or five warships?

Long Qicong was puzzled, and didn't pay attention to what Zhu Di and the others were talking about. There's nothing nice to think about. It's nothing more than some pretty scenes.

"Lord Zhu Di, we want to send our juniors to study and observe on our behalf in your ship."

Mu Feng said suddenly. Long Qi came back to his senses from this moment, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. What is the point of learning and observing?

What is there to learn from the sons and gentlemen of rich and noble families on battleships? Learn the art of sailing, or learn the maintenance of machinery?

Besides, if you really send direct blood relatives, wouldn't you take the initiative to send hostages here? Mu Feng, isn't he afraid of a rat bogey?

Or is Xinghuang simply threatening the personal safety of these people?

No, Mu Feng is also the head of the family, how can he be an idle person who can control a huge family. There must be some deeper reason for this.

Deeper, Long Qicong suddenly realized.

Mu Feng's purpose is not so complicated at all, it is to send hostages to Xinghuang. The logic behind this behavior is actually easy to understand.

Xinghuang wants to kill the local forces of the Pastoral Domain, and he doesn't even have to do it himself. As long as you say a word, the local public prosecutors and prosecutors will be happy to do it for you.

In this kind of high-level family, there is no one with a clean foundation. Usually have concerns, turn a blind eye, and forget it. If you really check it, just the tax alone, no one can run.

Since it is completely impossible to fight against Xinghuang, it is better to find a comfortable position to lie down. Strive for the smallest possible loss, and the trick of giving hostages is their way.

Show loyalty, win a good impression.

Zhu Di naturally saw Mu Feng's intentions at a glance, and he didn't need to think repeatedly like Long Qi from a glance. Zhu Di looked at the other people and asked.

"That's what you three mean, too?"

There was silence for a while, probably because of the delay in communication, and the three people on the other side said yes again and again. Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, I won't refuse." Welcome to the back to learn and observe, so that I can talk about the friendship of the landlord. ”

Long Qicong was stunned, Zhu Di is anti-guest-oriented? Long Qi began to frantically analyze the deep meaning of Zhu Di's words, and Zhu Di had already ended the goodwill with the four of them.

The fleets of both sides were regrouped. In the process, four small troop carriers arrived at the flagship of the Star Phoenix fleet.

Long Qicong asked Zhu Di: "Don't they claim to be a strong party?" How can there be such a small number of ships? ”

Zhu Di knocked on Long Qicong's head and scolded with a smile: "Do you think a battleship is cheap? Can you afford to buy it, can you afford it? Haoqiang is Haoqiang, and there is really money to raise warships in the dark. ”

Long Qicong frowned, and wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Zhu Di.

"If you're really curious, ask them later. Let's go, they've arrived, go and greet them. said that he wanted to show the friendship of the landlord. ”

With that, Zhu Di pulled Long Qicong and went to the dock.

Chen Shitong and Chu Jiuhou were outside the bridge, along with Black Fang, and when they saw Long Qi coming from Hu, they also followed. Zhu Di saw it, smiled slightly, and said.

"If you want to come to the bridge in the future, let your little followers come in together. What are the children guarding the door? ”

Long Qi never felt anything, just nodded.

Chen Shitong followed behind, and when she heard the "little follower", she was going to be angry.

didn't wait to rush up and repair Zhu Di fiercely, but he just thought about it, even if he really had the opportunity, Chen Shitong would not do it.

As soon as Zhu Di and Long Qi arrived at the dock, they saw from a distance that several heavily armored infantry were conducting security checks on several people.

To be precise, these heavily armored soldiers of these Star Phoenix should not be called infantry.

They were not the same as what Long Qicong had seen on Antigia. The latter is the establishment of the Imperial Army, so it is called heavy armored infantry.

Long Qicong thought about it carefully, they should be the Space Force Marines. Heavily armored (Space Force) Marines? That's probably how it is called.

Long Qicong couldn't figure it out, and then stopped one and asked.

Several soldiers searched the outsiders one by one, which was a necessary security procedure. All safety comes from meticulous attention to detail and strict adherence to procedures.

In addition, Long Qicong also noticed that the two soldiers who were one step away emitted faint red light cones from both sides of their helmets. Like what kind of rays are being released?

Long Qicong wasn't sure if they were using this to scan it.

Farther away, two soldiers surrounded a squadron of heavily armored soldiers, loaded as if ready to smash the man in front of them into a sieve.

Zhu Di stood in the distance and watched for a while. Among the few people who were searched, there were four heads of families, and their respective juniors, three men and one woman, who were older than Long Qicong looked like.

The soldiers focused on four elderly men, who were pale. In front of the public, anyone will be unhappy to be touched.

It's not that the soldiers were instructed to make things difficult for them. It's just that the soldiers, into the state, the wartime state. Therefore, the search was more serious.

When Zhu Di saw that it was almost there, he walked over slowly, pretending to be very anxious, and repelled the soldiers repeatedly.

"This is the honored guest of the Star Phoenix, did no one tell you? Fool around, go back to the chief to receive the punishment. ”

The soldiers in charge of security checks retreated one after another. But the armed soldiers in the outer ring did not let down their guard at all.

The corners of Mu Feng's mouth twitched, Zhu Di was just symbolically giving a few people a step down. The so-called matter of receiving punishment is just talk, and no one will really take it seriously.

"You don't need to be punished. Several people are also responsible. ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "It's still Mr. Mu who is magnanimous, and you don't thank Mr. Mu yet." ”

A few people just obeyed the orders of their superiors and bowed shallowly to Mu Feng and the others. Mu Feng's whole face was twitching, but it was not easy to have a seizure.

No matter how angry you are, you can only swallow it in your stomach.
