In the Pampas Prairie, a huge tent stood among the green grass, and there were several other small tents around, the largest one was of course for Qin Mang to rest, and these were the places where the servants worked and rested.

Although it is only a temporary tent, André has set up this place as much as a five-star hotel, with pure wool Persian carpets on the floor, chairs and benches, and metal utensils.

Qin Mang was lying on a sofa chair, leisurely blowing the breeze blowing on the grassland, and holding a cigar in his mouth.

Xia Fei walked up with a smile, "Old man, are you still resting here?" ”

Qin Mang nodded again and again, "Yes, the scenery is good, and the cigarettes are also good." ”

A servant brought a bench and placed it next to Qin Mang, Xia Fei lay down and lit a red tower mountain for himself, fighting in the workshop for days and days, at this time he was already tired, and when he relaxed at first glance, his sleepiness surged upward.

"Where's Uncle Thuram?" Xia Fei asked.

"Thuram has already gone back, after all, he is the Minister of Weapons and Equipment, how can he not talk about being away from the office for a long time, and the affairs of the factory are all taken care of?"

"Almost, I don't have to worry too much about Uncle Potter here." Xia Fei said.

"Potter is also a clever man no matter what he says, of course he has this ability, I found that these people around you are very good, and the most important thing is that these people seem to be very loyal to you."

Xia Fei smiled, "It's not about who is loyal to whom, it's just that they are very trustworthy, which is what I value the most." ”

Qin Mang narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "The energy shield synergistic device you designed is about to be put into production, it can be expected that this product will bring you a lot of profits in the future, what are you going to do with the money?" ”

Xia Fei was slightly stunned, and there seemed to be something unusual in Qin Mang's words.

"I've been finding more and more recently that the profession of an interstellar adventurer is very suitable for me, and I also enjoy this life, wandering around in the vast sea of stars every day, I have to have a decent warship, last time Uncle Thuram gave me a Fury-class, but unfortunately it was broken after a few days." Xia Fei talked and said.

"What else? Your goal isn't just to buy a beautiful ship, but in that case I'll be able to meet your requirements right now. Qin Mang said.

"Sure enough, the old man must be going to talk to me about something important this time." Xia Fei thought in his heart, Qin Mang's interrogation deepened his judgment.

"If possible, I still want to expand my strength, you know, I have a good relationship with Avril, I really like this girl, but her identity and I are too different, if you don't want to be gossiped by others, you always have to prove your worth, I don't care about gossip, Avril is a girl, and she is simple-hearted, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be bothered by these gossip."

Xia Fei said very truthfully, the eldest husband dares to love and hate, Xia Fei is not shy about Avril's feelings, and he began to put himself in Avril's shoes more, Xia Fei is not afraid of being pointed at the backbone, but he will never allow others to treat Avril in the same way.

Qin Mang nodded slightly, took a deep puff of the cigar but did not swallow it into his lungs, he had not smoked for a long time, and the strong cigar was not very suitable for him.

"Assuming you really want to make a career, it's best to put the emotional thing aside." Qin Mang said meaningfully.

Xia Fei frowned, "Old man, do you want me to cut off contact with Avril?" ”

Qin Mang nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

Xia Fei pondered for a moment and said: "Although I don't know why you want to persuade me like this, but please forgive me for not being able to accept it, if I don't know Avril from the beginning, it's nothing, it's okay to be lonely, but I'm already getting along well with Avril now, if I suddenly break it, it will be a negative heart, and I can't tell her kindness." ”

Xia Fei said very firmly, a good girl is not something that can be met anytime and anywhere, if you do, you must not let go easily, Xia Fei knows all this very well, so he categorically rejected Qin Mang's proposal.

"What if I give you a good offer that no one can refuse?" Qin Mang asked with a smile.

Xia Fei shook his head, "Old man, even if you give me the entire universe, you can't change my choice. ”

"You yourself often say that sometimes you have to give up in order to get it, why don't you give it up this time? You know, it's a huge temptation to make anyone feel tempted. Qin Mang said unwillingly.

"The so-called giving up, that is before I made a choice, let's say two years earlier, no, even a year ago, my relationship with Avril was not as good as it is today, at that time I didn't plan to have anything to do with Avril, so there will be no such thing as giving up, but after the Capital Star Circle, I have made a choice, at this time you are telling me to give up, sorry, I can't do it." Xia Fei said in a deep voice.

Qin Mang suddenly laughed, "Do you know, I just like your character of saying everything like this, since you have chosen, you will never let go, even if it is difficult, you must face it." ”

"Actually, I didn't really ask you to let you give up Avril, but to see if you can stick to your decision when you encounter temptation, and your answer is very good, and I am satisfied."

Xia Fei pursed his lips and secretly slandered Qin Mang's temptation.

No matter how determined and stubborn Xia Fei is, he is still an ordinary person in essence, assuming that Qin Mang really gives him a great temptation to choose, although Xia Fei will definitely stick to his decision, it is inevitable that heaven and man will fight.

After all, as long as you are a mortal, you will inevitably be tempted by all kinds of things, sometimes it is money, sometimes it is a woman, people are greedy, Xia Fei is the same, although he refuses, it does not mean that he will not be tempted by this.

It's one thing to be tempted because of interests, it's one thing for everyone to change their original decision because of their hearts, only a few stubborn guys will stubbornly go all the way, and Xia Fei is one of them.

Qin Mang looked into the distance, "Come with me for a walk over there, there is an important matter for you to decide." ”

Xia Fei was stunned, Qin Mang finally got to the point, but he didn't know what his so-called important matter was.

Finding a levitation wheelchair, Xia Fei helped Qin Mang up and pushed him towards the horizon.

"Speed up, we're still a long way off." Qin Mang said.

With a slight touch of his fingers on the wheelchair, an energy shield suddenly stretched out, enveloping himself tightly.

The suspension wheel is a high-tech product that is equipped with an energy shield to protect the rider from wind and rain or injuries caused by rough roads.

Sou

Xia Fei kicked the ground hard under his feet, advancing quickly at a speed of about two kilometers per second, Qin Mang lazily leaned on the wheelchair, due to the existence of the outer layer of protection, the wind could not bother him at all.

In the blink of an eye, it was hundreds of miles away, and the two of them came to a quiet lake, the prairie was already deserted, and it was even quieter here, only a lake with clear water rippling.

Qin Mang motioned for Xia Fei to stop, there was a long dead tree lying sideways by the lake, and Xia Fei was sitting on the dead wood.

Qin Mang said slowly: "What I want to say next is a very important matter, you have to listen carefully. ”

Xia Fei nodded, his expression was very solemn.

"The most powerful person in the world is the president, but in fact, there is an organization similar to the Council of Elders, this body is composed of ten old men, and those who know the inside story call this mysterious organization the Ten Old Men, and I was one of the Ten Old Men a long time ago."

Xia Fei was slightly stunned, no wonder Qin Mang's skills were so good, it turned out that he was once one of the top ten strongest members of the trade union, although he didn't know what kind of characters the ten old men were, but from Qin Mang's simple words, it was not difficult to hear that these people were beyond the existence of the president of the association.

The adjudicator union is powerful, and it can be said that the power of the president is more than that of the president.

"There is no harmony between the ten old men, and some fights are inevitable, and the Marta I came here while I was in the hospital is the spokesperson for the opponent's side, and his goal is to get something in my hand."

"This thing has a far-reaching relationship, like a hot stone, it will not die well in anyone's hands, these years I have lived in seclusion in a small Tiandui training camp, living a dull and comfortable life, never going to fight with these people, plus there are my friends among the ten old men, so the opponent has not had the idea of beating me."

"I was going to die a while ago, so those people who were hiding in the dark began to move, in fact, they miscalculated, I can't let go of such an important thing easily, even if I die, it won't fall into their hands, there are my people in the open and secretly who will keep an eye on the development of events, and once they find anything wrong, they will take action to protect this thing."

Xia Fei listened attentively, and secretly guessed in his heart what Qin Mang was talking about, it was certain that this object could be remembered by the ten old men, and it would never be an ordinary thing.

"As for what my uncompetitive apprentices want is nothing more than some precious ancient books, as well as secret transmissions of the exercises, those are nothing to me, even if they are given to them, it doesn't matter."

"But this thing makes me very embarrassed, handing it over to a person who is too weak is likely to hurt him, and it is not appropriate to hand it over to someone above, people will inevitably have scruples in a high position, I am afraid that they will not be able to give 100% effort to protect it."

Xia Fei's heart was shocked when he heard this, "Does the old man really want to give me something?" ”

Qin Mang paused, lit a cigarette and said slowly: "Actually, I haven't known you for a long time, and it stands to reason that such a heavy burden should not be placed on you, but I have a faint feeling that it seems that only handing it over to you is the most correct choice." ”

Xia Fei was silent for a while, "Old man, I am the person you call too weak, teach me that I am afraid that I will not have the ability to protect your treasure thoroughly." ”

"That's why I'll let you choose." Qin Mang said mysteriously.

"What to choose?"
