Tigri.

In the courtyard where Xia Zihuang lives.

Xia Zihuang and Wen Lin quietly listened to Xia Wusin's narration, their faces were pale and colorless, the difference was that Xia Zihuang frowned and was still able to maintain his composure, while Wen Lin looked a little trembling, and even his breathing became disordered.

"It's actually a child of the Ji family...... How so? How could it be ......"

Wen Lin muttered in his mouth, frightened, remembering that he had the opportunity to befriend Guo Xiaoshi before but did not grasp it, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart.

Xia Zihuang pondered for a while and asked, "Uncle Innocence, did he really say that this time the matter will not be investigated?" ”

Xia Wuxin nodded: "He said so, but he also said, young master, you owe him a favor, and in the future, as long as something happens to the Fire Masked Mercenary Group, they will find our Xia family." ”

Xia Zihuang sighed lightly: "It's not difficult for our Zhenguo General's Mansion to take care of a small mercenary group for him, this favor is good, I'm afraid that he will hold a grudge in his heart and seek revenge in the future." ”

Xia Wuxin also shook his head and said: "Young master, this time we have calculated badly, this is the best result, the future will be talked about in the future, if the general can be knighted in the next few years, even if he still can't compete with the Marquis of Xinning, but they will have some scruples if they want to retaliate." ”

Xia Zihuang smiled bitterly: "That's it." ”

Xia Wuxin hesitated slightly, and said tentatively to Xia Wusin: "Young master, I don't know about this...... The Shogun...... How to say? ”

Xia Zihuang took a deep breath, his face finally showed a look of determination, and said: "I made a fuss about this time, I will personally tell my father when I go back, I will also take care of anything I do, you don't need to worry about it, Uncle Innocence." ”

Xia Wuxian shook his head and said, "I will also tell the general that the young master does not need to bear it alone." ”

After finishing the business, Xia Zihuang stood up and said, "Uncle Innocence, since this matter is over, let's go back!" ”

Xia Wuyin agreed, and the two walked out directly.

Wen Lin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, quickly stood up, and said, "Xia Shao, Xia Shao, you just left like this?" That...... So what do I do? My business...... What about the city lord's business? ”

Xia Zihuang stopped, turned his head and glanced at Wen Lin deeply, and said, "You have also seen it, I am now unable to protect myself, I am afraid that I will be grounded by my father immediately after I go back, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help you with your affairs." ”

"What?"

Wen Lin's face changed, he worked hard this time, and even did not hesitate to betray Guo Xiaoshi, who had saved his father's life, in order to get Xia Zihuang's help and ascend to the position of city lord, but he never thought that he would get such a result, which was simply unacceptable to him. Excited, Wen Lin also forgot about "respect" and "etiquette", he grabbed Xia Zihuang's hand and said loudly: "Xia Shao, you can't just leave, you promised to help me, how can you be so untrustworthy." ”

"Let it go!"

Xia Zihuang was caught off guard by Wen Lin, and his face couldn't help but turn cold.

Wen Lin said eagerly: "Xia Shao, you can't go, you have to help me." ”

Seeing Wen Lin's hand clutching him and refusing to let go, Xia Zihuang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

The next moment-

"Smack!"

Xia Zihuang picked up his arm and slapped it hard, hitting Wen Lin's face hard, knocking him into the air, and then fell heavily after turning around.

This slap was made by Xia Zihuang with all his strength, and after Wen Lin fell to the ground, most of his teeth were suddenly shattered, and his whole face was swollen high, and he couldn't even get up.

After Xia Zihuang finished beating Wenlin, he didn't look at it, turned around and walked out with Xia Wuxin, and as he walked, he said: "I don't know whether to live or die, I still think about your position as the city lord at this time, I think you might as well worry more about offending the young master of the Marquis of Xinning, how will it end in the future!" ”

……

After Guo Xiaoshi entered the giant whale spaceship in the aircraft, the aircraft quickly stopped and the landing door slowly opened.

Gu Duhe walked down first, followed by Guo Xiaoshi.

Walking out of the landers, Guo Xiaoshi saw an old man with a clear face bowing slightly, standing in front of the door with a very obedient posture.

The old man was meticulously groomed all over his body, and although his clothes and pants were not brand new, they did not even have any folds, which made people feel clean and neat at first glance, and they had a good impression.

"Ancient God, hard work!"

The old man greeted Gu Duhe first, and his tone was respectful.

However, when he said hello, his eyes kept falling on Guo Xiaoshi's body, as if he had seen something extremely precious to him, with joy in his eyes, and at the same time a little eagerness.

After greeting Gu Duhe, the old man faced Guo Xiaoshi and gave a servant's salute to his master before saying, "Young master, welcome home." ”

"Oh...... That one...... Thank you! ”

Guo Xiaoshi had never tried to be saluted like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, not knowing how to deal with it, so he quickly turned his head and glanced at the side of the Gu Dusk River, intending to inquire.

Gu Duhe pointed to the old man and said to Guo Xiaoshi: "His name is Fulin, he is your father's old servant, and now he is also the head of the Xinning Marquis Mansion. After a slight pause, he was worried that Guo Xiaoshi would really treat the old man as an ordinary slave, so he added: "Old Fulin is the servant left by your grandmother to your father before she died, and he has been taken care of by your father since he was a child, so you must respect him in the future." ”

Guo Xiaoshi nodded when he heard this, and greeted the old man: "Old Fulin, hello!" ”

"Good, good!"

Old Fulin seemed to be very happy with Guo Xiaoshi's greeting, nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "Young master, you don't have to be so polite, if you have anything in the future, just tell the old slave, and the old slave will definitely arrange it for the young master." ”

Gu Duhe turned to the distance and said, "Old Fulin, I have already brought it back for you, don't bother me if there is nothing important in the future, I will sit down." ”

After speaking, he quickly walked away, and no longer paid attention to Guo Xiaoshi and Lao Fulin.

Lao Fulin waited for Gu Duhe to walk away, then turned his head, looked at Guo Xiaoshi with a kind face, and said, "Young Master, so many things happened just now, you should be tired, right?" The old slave will take you to your room for a short rest. ”

Guo Xiaoshi groaned for a moment and said, "Old Fulin, I'm not tired yet, why don't you take me to visit this spaceship first?" ”

He didn't ask for this because he was curious about the spaceship, but as a mercenary, he had developed a habit of always wanting to get familiar with the environment as soon as he went to an unfamiliar environment. This is actually a kind of occupational disease, but there is no harm.

Old Fulin did not hesitate, and immediately agreed: "Okay, young master, then I'll take you around." ”

After speaking, Lao Fulin quickly found a car similar to the size of a battery car, and after sitting on it with Guo Xiaoshi, he began to walk around the spaceship.

"This spaceship is called 'Brute Fish', and it has always been Hou Ye's ship, and later Hou Ye went to the extraterritorial battlefield......"

Lao Fulin behaved very attentively along the way, telling Guo Xiaoshi about the spaceship, and mixed a lot of information about the Marquis of Xinning and the Marquis of Xinning's mansion.

Guo Xiaoshi listened carefully, asking a question or two from time to time, and Lao Fulin knew everything.

Walk around the ship, including the ship's power room, and eventually make it to the cockpit.

The cockpit is just at the top of the ship, at the eye of the brutefish.

After Lao Fulin led Guo Xiaoshi inside, more than ten people in the cockpit all stood up together and saluted Guo Xiaoshi: "Young master! ”

“……”

Guo Xiaoshi was stunned.

He was born as a soldier, and most of the time he saluted others, and the formation of these people in front of him really made him feel a little stunned.

Immediately, when he came back to his senses, he quickly straightened his clothes, then stood up straight, and returned a standard military salute.

After returning the salute, they all sat down and continued their quiet operations.

At this time, Guo Xiaoshi finally had time to take a good look at the situation in the cockpit, and he found that the layout in the cockpit was completely different from what he imagined. Most of his imagination comes from the film and television works of the earth's life, or animation works, that is, everyone sits in front of the big screen in a serious way, and each person operates a piece of things, such as what power, artillery, radar detection, etc. But here, this is not the case, everyone sits comfortably in a circle, in front of them is a large holographic device, the operation only needs to be pointed with a finger, everyone can see, at a glance.

These operators in the cockpit are all dressed in military uniforms, but there are some differences between their military uniforms and standards, and there is no military rank identification, in other words, they are white, although they are wearing military uniforms, they are not in the army.

After walking around the cockpit, Lao Fulin introduced to Guo Xiaoshi: "These people are all private soldiers in the Hou Mansion, and their families are also working in the property of the Hou Mansion in Xinning, so they are completely under the command of the Hou Mansion, and there is no problem in terms of loyalty. ”

"Private army?"

It was the first time Guo Xiaoshi had heard this word, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Lao Fulin patiently explained: "In the Dayu Empire, all nobles can form private armies, and the Xinning Marquis Mansion currently has 10,000 private troops, which are stationed in all the properties of the Hou Mansion. ”

Hearing Lao Fulin say about "private troops stationed in the industry", Guo Xiaoshi was suddenly stunned, and inexplicably had a very strange feeling in his heart, feeling that he seemed to have suddenly become a "rich second generation".

You must know that Guo Xiaoshi was still "running" for money before, and while he sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but be very stupid and innocently asked: "How much money do we have?" ”

Old Fulin thought for a while and replied seriously: "I don't count how many old slaves there are, it's just that the fiefdom of our Hou Mansion has a medium-sized universe and five small universes, and more than thirty pleasant habitable planets......"

Guo Xiaoshi couldn't hear the words behind Lao Fulin anymore, and his mind only echoed with the three data of "a medium-sized universe", "five small universes", and "more than thirty pleasant habitable planets", and his mouth was very embarrassed to open wide, completely closed.
