Chapter 213: It's so embarrassing!
It can be said that in the early years, Zhao Cunzhi was able to gain a firm foothold in Gaoli with the body of a small baron, and Luo Hengchu, the ancestor of the Luo family, made great contributions.
If you insist on making an analogy, then Luo Hengchu is to Zhao Cunzhi what Xiao He is to Liu Bang.
If it wasn't for Luo Hengchu to get through the relationship with the Spark Council back then, I'm afraid that even if Gao Li was taken, it wouldn't be long before Gao Li could still escape the fate of being taken under the rule of the Scarlet Dynasty, where did he get this thousand years of monstrous power.
And the Zhao family is also not thin on the Luo family, and directly gave Luo Hengchu the position of the lord of Chiyang City, hereditary wealth.
Out of the need for balance of interests and political stability, the Zhao family and the Luo family have had a tradition of frequent marriages for nearly a thousand years.
It was Luo Qi and Zhao Chenjun, who could have been said to be the most eye-catching pair of golden boys and girls in the entire Gaoli.
However, on that day six years ago, since Luo Qi suddenly announced in public that he was coming out... That's all changed.
In people's eyes, the goddess who was originally as warm as water suddenly became a female neurotic who wantonly made trouble on Gao Lixing...
Hook up with female stars, flirt with little Lori, and even take a group of female models home to have an open-air party... How ridiculous did it come, almost causing Chi Yang's cerebral hemorrhage.
Even when Zhao Yan, who is the contemporary Gaoli consul, personally hired the Luo family, he was naturally directly rejected by Chi Yang Gong, claiming that his daughter was really not worthy of his son.
However, the Luo family has always been thin, and in this generation, there is only one daughter like Luo Qi, which invisibly makes Gaoli's other families and forces see a little different...
As for the younger generation, even Zhao Chenjun, the son of the suave archon, once became the laughing stock of Gao Li's secret ridicule.
However, to everyone's expectations, Zhao Chenjun still did not show any negative emotions in public in the face of this matter.
Even if Luo Qi's behavior is becoming more and more ridiculous, he claims that it is just Luo Qi's nonsense, and he is willing to wait, waiting for the day when Luo Qi accepts him.
If Luo Qi is the shame of the entire Gaoli, then Zhao Chenjun is an almost perfect noble son.
And Zhao Chenjun's infatuation has broken the hearts of many wealthy and noble women, among them, there are even many scarlet dynasty people...
In fact, it is not surprising that the star field in this area of Gaoli, due to the particularity of its geographical location, the complexity of the political environment and the fact that it has many rare mineral resources under its rule, makes it somewhat similar to the existence of Sweden in David's previous life.
The surrounding powers are around, but they have maintained their independent existence.
And in order to ensure the purity of their governance, the Zhao family must also make a detached posture independent of the Scarlet Dynasty, and other great powers are happy to do the same.
For this reason, to a certain extent, although the ancestor of the Zhao family was just an insignificant little baron of the First Empire, in modern times, its influence can be compared to the counts and even marquis of the Federation and the Empire.
But all of this, with the collapse of the behemoth behind it, has become unstable and even confusing, and now Gao Li is in danger and must choose a strong backer again.
Originally, the Crimson Dynasty should be the most logical choice, but His Excellency the Archon of Gao Li seemed to be very worried that if he was merged into the Crimson Dynasty, it would be difficult to continue to maintain the transcendent existence and rule of the Zhao family.
So out of everyone's expectations, the olive branch handed by the state religion was placed in front of everyone.
Gao Li's many forces also seem to have suddenly realized, oh, it turns out that we still have such a choice.
So everyone's attitude, like the Zhao family, became ambiguous and unpredictable.
This kind of attitude of sitting on the ground and even sitting on the ground has undoubtedly angered many people, and the Scarlet Dynasty is naturally the first to bear the burden, and the Federation has exerted pressure in this regard.
Because at the very beginning of the collapse of the Empire, the mad state religion did not inflict any anger on these small forces, and these war maniacs and paranoids did not recognize all political forces except the First Empire, until the expedition to the Dark Star Domain suffered heavy losses, and only slightly restrained it, which is very meaningful.
It's just that people are strange to find that since the overthrow of the Spark Council thirteen years ago, this still mysterious and powerful force has begun to make frequent moves, which is undoubtedly unsettling.
The older generation of people who still survive in the world do not dare to forget that after the collapse of the empire, these religious maniacs began to frantically torture the entire world, and even once wanted to drag the entire multiverse into the terrifying nightmare of Infernal Hell.
This is also one of the reasons why Chi Yang Gong once openly opposed the state religion in the Gaoli Parliament.
For this reason, some conspiracy theorists once claimed that it was for this reason that the two originally most determined allies on Gao Lixing began to deviate from Germany?
Moreover... Luo Qi's unusually series of actions in recent years, is there his Chiyang Gong who has not been 'to death' until now... Fueling the fire, in this way... To make a subtle statement of one's political attitude to possible allies?
It is precisely because of a series of complicated political connections behind this that people who vaguely know some of these secrets are extremely excited and looking forward to what interesting things will happen next?
So, as the announcement of the welcome guests sounded, the entire banquet hall was silent, and everyone with various colors of eyes fell on the handsome young man who was surrounded by a group of beautiful men and women.
It is the eldest son of Zhao Yan, the consul of Gaoli, and Zhao Chenjun, who has been praised by countless people for having the legacy of his ancestors.
Zhao Chenjun didn't know what to think about, he didn't choose the most noble black, but a navy blue large-sleeved robe, graceful, warm as jade, with a smile on his face and eyes, which made people look forward to it like a spring breeze.
Compared with the scene when Luo Qi walked in before, when no one dared to step forward to greet him, at this moment, Zhao Chenjun had just stepped into the hall, and all the children of all families standing in the front line warmly surrounded and greeted him warmly.
Even those men and women who have a humble status and can only stand on the edge are trying their best to get close to Zhao Chenjun.
After all, compared with the stubborn and conservative Chiyang Gong, the Zhao family is the master of the entire Gaoli.
Undoubtedly, the policy given by Zhao Yan is also the most in line with the interests of the vast majority of people.
Since there is no escape from the fate of being a dog, and when there is a choice, people instinctively want to sell themselves for a sky-high price. And everyone believes that they are worth that price!
And Zhao Chenjun, as Zhao Yan's first heir, is the easiest to get relevant news from him, and these news are often priceless, and even related to his own fate and future.
In terms of the future, everyone is a smart person who pursues advantages and avoids disadvantages...
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm and even the admiration of some noble girls, Zhao Chenjun kept smiling, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
He answered one by one as he walked, appearing concise and polite, and trying not to let anyone fall short.
But if someone like Luo Qi, who is familiar with the nobility around Gaoli, pays a little attention, he will find that under this seemingly impartial attitude towards everyone, there is still a faint difference between intimacy and alienation.
The closer he is to the Zhao family, the higher his strength, and the more attention and response he can get.
It can be seen that the young eldest son of the Zhao family is already well versed in the way of politics, not only has thorough etiquette, without the slightest omission, but also is rare that he does not procrastinate, and takes care of all the groups of people in a blink of an eye, which fully shows the talent of being the successor of a top political figure, and also makes many of the older generations present nod secretly.
At this moment, Zhao Chenjun, who had already finished greeting everyone, finally had time to spare, and naturally found Luo Qi's location as soon as possible, and immediately walked over with a smile.
It was only when he strode in front of Luo Qi that he noticed that the other party was holding another person.
And the moment his gaze fell on David's face, a trace of surprise flashed in those eyes that had never been waveless.
It was only when he saw the obvious Adam's apple on the other party's neck that the originally warm smile suddenly froze.
When I continue to see the navy blue robe on the other party's body without the slightest decoration but faintly luxurious... Finally, a hint of embarrassment inevitably emerged...
And it wasn't until this moment that the surrounding people 'suddenly' discovered that today's original male protagonist was actually the male guest next to Luo Qi...
It's a bumper!
