Volume 3 The War of Insects Chapter 182: Wei Dali's Dilemma (2)
The captain of the guard left with a question mark in his head, and informed the woman on the ship that he understood, but did the Morning Star remember anything wrong, and how could he have any sweet tea for himself. Walked out of Elon Manor and changed into his own guards, and the captain of the guard got into the floating car back to the airport.
The guard of the captain of the guard was a handsome young man, and there was a little cunning on his sunny face, which seemed that he was a little cautious. Seeing the sad face of the guard captain, the guard asked the guard captain with a smile what happened, so the guard captain relayed Morning Star's words, and then asked puzzledly: "You say, is this a little embarrassed that Lord Morning Star didn't prepare a gift, let me help him prepare a gift for the people in the manor?" ”
The guard pinched his chin and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No, looking at Lord Morningstar's previous attitude, this is obviously the one who came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, so what kind of gifts will be prepared." Besides, their business contacts are so close, they shouldn't need it. ”
So what does that mean? I don't think Morningstar-sama is the kind of person who would make such a mistake in remembering such things, huh? Sweet tea, sweet tea, what does he want me to do? The captain rubbed his head and leaned back in pain on the back of the float car.
"I know that people in this republic love to drink tea, but I have never heard that this tea is sweet, drinking tea, tasting tea, is the tongue of the people of the republic different from ours? Can you taste sweet? Sweet tea, fragrant tea......" The guard's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the captain of the guard, but found that the captain of the guard was also looking at him nervously, and the two said in unison: "Sweet tea, sweet tea, destiny!" It's the Mandate of Heaven Sect! ”
"! So that's what happened! There is a Heavenly Mandate Sect in Elon Manor, and Lord Morningstar must know that we don't have enough troops, and he asked me to come back and move the troops for fear that we will be injured! Driver, go to the barracks! The Captain of the Guard's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and now anyone was discolored by the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and at this moment, he didn't care whether he would misinterpret the meaning of the Morning Star and make an oolong.
How fortunate it was, the captain of the guard didn't make an oolong, that's what Morningstar meant. There were already many black-clothed people arranged by the Elon family in the manor, and there were also many people from the Mandate of Heaven Sect discovered by Morning Star along the way, although these people could not hurt themselves, but Morning Star was not confident that he could guarantee that Wei Dali and Andrea would not be harmed. Originally, he wanted to take Wei Dali away and then deal with these people, but Morningstar found that many people in the Elon family had obviously reached some kind of agreement with the Heavenly Mandate Sect, or were directly controlled, so they could only hope that this guard captain could understand what he meant.
In the manor, after the previous unfriendly conversation, the atmosphere has become more relaxed. Morning Star knew that Elon's people and the Heavenly Mandate Sect did not directly take action, and they had scruples because of their own combat effectiveness, and they should be actively deploying troops at this moment, or waiting for themselves to leak their flaws. Pretending to be fine, Wei Dali didn't say a word until the sky gradually darkened, and the figure of the captain of the guard reappeared in the manor, carrying two bags of tea in his hand that he didn't know where to buy it, and walked up to Morning Star with a smile and said, "Hey, I'm really sorry, Lord Morning Star, the children at home are too naughty, put you" Sweet tea' has been knocked over a lot, I finally snatched these from their hands, and rushed over non-stop, those bear children are still clamoring outside to see you, I am afraid that they will affect the mood of your conversation, so I left them outside, forgive me, forgive me. ”
Hearing the Captain of the Guard's words, Morning Star smiled, he didn't see the wrong person, this guy seemed to understand what he meant. The children in the family were naughty and knocked over a lot of sweet tea, and it was a shame that he came up with this, which clearly meant that his soldiers had knocked over the support of the Heavenly Mandate Sect and were now waiting outside.
Morning Star took the tea leaves from the hand of the captain of the guard without hurry, took a kettle from the hand of the maid, found that the water in it was not hot, checked the texture of the kettle, found that it was metal products, smiled and nodded, unfolded several cups on the table, punctured the tea bag, put a pinch of tea in each cup, and then said: "You go, let the children prepare, after drinking these sweet teas, you will bring them in to see the world, after all, there are famous big people under the stars." ”
Everyone thought that Morning Star was boasting, and was about to say a few words of flattery, but they were attracted by the flame in Morning Star's hand. Between them, Morning Star held the kettle he had taken from the maid in one hand, and placed it under the kettle with a flame in the other, and a moment later, there was a gurgling sound from the kettle. Morning Star stood up, and poured the hot water into the cup on the table in amazement, and a faint fragrance instantly overflowed the entire room.
"The tea is good, and the captain of the guard is very discerning." The flames in Morning Star's hand had turned into cold at this moment, and the temperature of the water in the cup was quickly reduced, and then he handed it to the members of the Elron family who were closest to him, and even gave a cup to the old man who had been standing behind Morning Star and Wei Dali.
"Try it, this sweet tea tastes good, it should cost the captain of the guard a lot of money."
Morning Star's words confused everyone in the room, didn't it mean that this was the sweet tea that Morning Star left at the Captain of the Guard? Why do you still spend money with the captain of the guard? The old man behind Morning Star had already faintly felt that something was wrong, Morning Star's inconsistent words made him feel a trace of crisis, but it was difficult to capture the exact information for a while, and he tasted it mechanically like everyone else, although the aroma was overflowing, but the entrance was obviously bitter.
A member of the Elon family not far from Morning Star asked puzzledly, "Lord Morning Star, didn't you say this is sweet tea?" Why is the name not worthy of the truth, so bitter? ”
Instead of answering the man's question, Morningstar turned and gestured to a room not far away, and said to the four Shadow Guard women, "Go, take Andrea to that room and wait for me, I have something to tell you later." ”
Andrea would not disobey Morning Star's order, and neither would the Shadow Four Girls, and after the five of them entered the room, Morning Star took a sip of the teacup and replied, "You're right, there are indeed many things in this world that don't live up to their names, just like this cup of tea, although I call it sweet tea, call it sweet tea, but it's bitter." And some sects that claim to be the mandate of heaven do not respect the mandate of heaven and try in vain to change their lives against the heavens, you say, right? As he spoke, Morning Star turned his head to look at the old man, and saw that the other party had quickly regained his composure after a brief shock, and the smile that leaked from his face was even more hideous.
"I don't know how you guessed it was ours!" The old man asked.
Morningstar took another sip of the tea in the cup and replied lightly, "Because you have a rancid stench on you, a rancid stench that is more like a dead man." ”
As soon as Morning Star's words fell, many people in the living room sniffed their armpits, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked up at Morning Star angrily.
The old man took a step closer to the morning star, his face became more gloomy, and said, "What good is it for you to do this?" Do you think you can get out? Before Morning Star could answer, Wei Dali, who had been cowering all along, suddenly stood up and shouted to Morning Star, "Morning Star, you run, they are all monsters!" Leave me alone, you'll get out!" ”
"Want to escape? It's late! The momentum on the Yin Owl Old Man suddenly turned to the side, and even the Morning Star felt a strong pressure. Grabbing Wei Dali's shoulders, Wei Da's round and fat body was grabbed by Morning Star like a chicken. Immediately after, Wei Dali felt his body suddenly take off, and then landed in the room that Morning Star had arranged for several girls to enter. Closing the door, Morning Star turned his head to look at the old man Yin Owl, the expression on the other party's face was very ugly, obviously he didn't expect that Morning Star could save Wei Dali from his sneak attack at such a close distance.
"Want to be fearless?" The old man turned his head to look at the morning star at the door, and said with a negative hand.
Morningstar shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer. Looking at the other people in the living room, Morning Star found that the Elon family had been corrupted by the Heavenly Mandate Sect, those who looked at Morning Star with either a cruel smile or a mocking expression had already accounted for most of them, and the remaining few people were obviously frightened by the tense situation in front of them, and wanted to leave but had no paint, so they could only shrink back in their original seats and dare not move, but their eyes were vigilantly observing left and right, for fear of being suddenly attacked. As for Wei Dali's attack, no one cared.
Outside the living room, there was a sudden sound of guns, and Morning Star knew that this was the captain of the guard leading the reinforcements, and the outer battlefield should have been controlled, otherwise with the alert character of the captain of the guard, it would not be so fanfare. Turning his head to look at the old man who was a few steps away from him, Morning Star said, "It's your turn now, do you want to be stubborn?" ”
……
The battle ended quickly, and the Empire's forces relied on their numerical superiority to clear the crisis without any hindrance. The old man was also defeated by Morning Star, and Morning Star, who had no worries, used this master of the Heavenly Mandate Sect to verify the results of his training for a period of time, and it was not bad, and the rhythm was under his control. However, after the old man was subdued by Morning Star, he actually chose to commit suicide, which made Morning Star feel a fly in the ointment. Looking at the traitors of the Elon family who were kneeling on the ground beside them, even at this time, there were still people who kept shouting that the Mandate of Heaven Sect would avenge them, which made Morningstar start to become interested in the methods of the Mandate of Heaven Sect. Morningstar was now curious to know how the Mandate of Heaven Sect controlled these people and made them so fanatically loyal.
Morningstar had arranged for the Imperial soldiers to take care of the scene before Vida came out of the room, so when Vida returned to the living room, it was as if there had been no fighting, but there were far fewer people sitting in the living room. Wei Dali is not stupid, he knows very well what will happen to those who are gone, and he also understands that the reason why Morning Star arranged it this way is to take care of his own mood, although the relationship is not very good, but the people who are taken away are also his relatives.
His body collapsed on the chair in the living room, and he poured cold water into his stomach after a long time to calm down. The few remaining members of the Elon family in the lower seat were bowing their heads at the moment, and none of them had the courage to look at Wei Dali. When Wei Dali needed their help, these people, perhaps out of interest or fear, chose to turn a blind eye and let the heir of the so-called Elon family be oppressed by the Heavenly Mandate Sect and bullied by the so-called relatives and friends who had joined the Heavenly Mandate Sect. And now, Morning Star's strong intervention has made all this a thing of the past, and Wei Dali at this moment can be said to be in control of their life and death, and a word can determine the future fate of these people. Although it was tempting to fall at Wei Dali's feet and beg for forgiveness, considering Morningstar's attitude, no one was willing to take this risk.
Morningstar sat on the seat next to Wei Dali as if nothing happened, holding Andrea's hand and talking easily, making the elf giggle from time to time, seemingly completely ignoring Wei Dali's entanglement at the moment. I don't know how long it took, but Morning Star saw that Wei Dali was gradually returning to normal, so he said lightly: "Tell me, what happened during this time?" ”
Wei Dali seemed to have gone through a fierce ideological struggle before slowly telling Morning Star what had happened to him during this time.
Soon after Morningstar made an enemy with the Mandate of Heaven Sect at the Mecha Tournament, Wei Dali noticed that many unfamiliar faces began to appear around him, which made him suddenly plan to go to Itgleeson to find Morningstar. But during that time, the business of Elon Mining was really busy, and Wei Dali's cousin didn't know what relationship to build an alliance company and recommended it to Wei Dali. The company seems to be very interested in cooperating with Elon Mining, and it is very positive, so Wei Dali is busy and forgets about it. But such a small carelessness has led to today's results. The cooperation between Ailong Mining and this alliance company has developed very rapidly, and the other party does not care much about the distribution of interests, although Wei Dali has raised his own questions, but the other party's answer is that the reason is to reduce its own interests, hoping to open the market of the empire through cooperation with Ailong Mining. Although this is a bit far-fetched, Wei Dali is greedy because of the huge benefits that it may bring, and he ignores the possible conspiracy.
From the first acquaintance to the "deep understanding", the cooperation between the Elon family and this alliance enterprise has expanded, which has also made more and more family members have intimate contact with each other, and slowly, Wei Dali felt that something was wrong. In the family meeting, there are more and more people who speak to the alliance company, and even if it is obvious that they want to lose the interests of the family, these people turn a blind eye, as if their minds have been controlled, and they are becoming more and more like puppets. In this situation, Wei Dali remembered the sense of crisis at the beginning, and when he secretly arranged to escape the planet under the pretext of a business investigation and go to the morning star for help, the old man of the gloomy owl appeared. The old man who captured Wei Dali from the ship tortured, abused, and intimidated Wei Dali for more than ten days, and even threatened Wei Dali's life several times, but the people of the Elon family bowed their heads to this old man in front of Wei Dali, which made Wei Dali completely lose the confidence to escape. But at this time, there was a young man who had an idea for Wei Dali, that is, to let Wei Dali pretend to be obedient, save his life first, and then reduce the quality of the minerals sent to Itgleason under the pretext of showing loyalty to the Mandate of Heaven Sect. And the other advantage of this is that it can paralyze those people of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, making them think that Wei Dali really wants to draw a line with Morning Star. Wei Dali thought about this for a long time, and finally agreed to the young man's proposal, but unfortunately, this young man was brutally killed by the old man of the Yin Owl, just because he had contact with Wei Dali a little more often.
The young man died, but his suggestion was accepted by Wei Dali, according to the young man's plan, Wei Dali became more and more obedient to the old man of the Yin Owl, and more and more members of the Elon family also took refuge in the Heavenly Mandate Sect until the arrival of the Morning Star.
Morningstar never thought that the reduction in the quality of minerals would be Wei Dali's doing, let alone that the young man had such a high IQ and could send distress messages so secretly, but unfortunately, the heroic soul has passed away, and he can only remember.
"Do you have any plans for the future? The core of your Elon Mining is rotten, and you haven't figured out what to do. Morningstar didn't do anything to comfort Wei Dali after hearing about it, Morning Star thought that Wei Dali should be much stronger after suffering this catastrophe, and that kind of comfort that had no practical meaning would not help him in any suspicious way.
Wei Dali looked at the remaining few people who were still sitting in the living room with a painful expression, although they did not become lackeys of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, but they ruthlessly abandoned him when Wei Dali needed them the most, hate? will definitely hate, but it can't go beyond the bonds of family affection. Hanging his head weakly, Wei vigorously waved his hand and said to Morning Star: "Send them away, after all, after so many years, there is no credit and hard work." ”
Morningstar nodded to the captain of the guard, who led the way.
"Do you need me to send someone to help you revive Elon Mining?" Morningstar is more willing to provide some practical help than comfort, although the staff on ItGleason is still not very abundant, but after all, it is much better, and it is still possible to allocate a little people to help Wei Dali.
Wei Dali did not look up, but fell into a long silence, until the captain of the guard returned, Wei Dali finally sighed, and said with a serious face: "Morning Star, have you ever been bored?" ”
