Tang Long didn't realize what a crime it was for the retainers to make the head of the family wait at all, but instead said in the tone of receiving a person who asked to see him: "Okay, take it in." ”

No. 2 Xingling, who was like a nanny, immediately reminded Tang Long: "Be careful, don't get carried away, you are already a retainer of the Tang family, if you offend the master's family now, not to mention that you can't seize the Tang family, you will even be executed by the Tang family." When the communication with the head of the house is connected, you must immediately explain why you came so late. And take off your sunglasses as a courtesy. Hearing this, Tang Long nodded and took off his sunglasses, and began to arrange his clothes, and then put on a respectful look and waited for the communication to be connected.

Tang Naven's image appeared in front of Tang Long, Tang Long immediately bent down, and said with sincere fear: "I'm really sorry, my subordinates are busy counting the results of the battle, so you have to wait for a long time, my lord." ”

Donnavin, who was originally cold-faced, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Tang Long's words: "Lord of the family? Then he smiled and said, "Hehe, you are my direct retainer, you should call me my lord." ”

"It's the lord, thank you for the teaching." Tang Long replied respectfully.

Seeing Tang Long's respectful performance, Tang Naven's original unhappiness because Tang Long had made him wait for a few minutes also disappeared, and he smiled: "Okay, the people below will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and you will come back immediately for a post-war meeting, and at the same time confirm your identity." After saying that, Tang Naven stared at Tang Long tightly, to be honest, he didn't believe that Tang Long, a major of the Wanluo Federation, would have such a terrifying spaceship, and he was going to see how Tang Long would react when he heard the words of confirming his identity. However, he was immediately disappointed, because Tang Long only had a serious and respectful expression on his face.

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will go right away." Tang Long replied cautiously.

"Well, someone will come to greet you when you enter the planet." A disappointed Donavin turned off the comm after saying this.

"Hahu, it's really troublesome to have a lord." Seeing that Donnavin's image had disappeared, Tang Long immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuna, who had carefully studied the family system data collected by Tang Long relying on Star Zero No. 2, said to Tang Long: "Sir, because the strength of the main family is stronger than that of the retainers, and the ultimate goal of the main family is to concentrate all the power in their hands, the main family wants the retainers to make mistakes, so that the main family can justifiably take back the fiefdom and power of the retainers, so please pay more attention to the chief in the future, and don't be caught by the main family." ”

"Rest assured, who am I? I will definitely not be caught by the Tang family and have sore feet. Tang Long, who was half-lying on the command chair, said arrogantly.

Yuna shook her head and said, "Sir, the Tang family's family rules stipulate that if you are late for a meeting once, your merit will be reduced by more than half, and if you are late twice, you will be executed or expelled from the house. ”

Hearing this, Tang Long jumped up violently and shouted, "What?!" There are such perverted house rules? No, hurry! Target Zhongzhou Star, I'm going to a meeting! As Tang Long's words fell, the meteorite let out a roar and flew to Zhongzhou Star with a whoosh.

According to the instructions of the navigator of the Tang family, Tang Long's Meteorite, like other warships, stopped in the orbit of Zhongzhou Star. Then he took Yuna and Sally, who were wearing federal uniforms, and entered Zhongzhou Star by landing craft.

As soon as he stopped at the Cosmoport, a young man wearing a black canvas military uniform, long military boots on his feet, and a blue dragon pattern embroidered on a white background appeared in front of Tang Long.

"The head of the Tang family is directly under the retainers, and the family Ding Tang Zhong has seen the adults." This young man named Tang Zhong saluted Tang Long and reported his rank and name. Of course, when he saw Yuna and Sari, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly retracted it, and then continued without waiting for Tang Long to speak: "The lower official is ordered by the head of the family to welcome the lord to the council hall, please come with the lower official." He turned around and left.

Seeing this Tang Zhong's appearance, Tang Long couldn't help but muttered to Yuna: "Why is a little family so dragged like this?" Yuna shook her head and didn't say anything, and because Tang Long couldn't wear sunglasses to meet the head of the family, she instead hid in the No. 2 star zero in the miniature earbuds in Tang Long's ears, and immediately said in a voice that only Tang Long could hear: "This Tang Zhong is the son of Tang Naven's sister, and he is very attractive to outsiders by virtue of his status as the fourth heir. ”

Tang Long made a few sounds, and with the vibration of his throat, he asked No. 2 Xing Zero, "Sister of the family master?" Didn't you say that the Tang family only had two brothers, Donalvin and Donnawu? ”

No. 2 Xing Ling immediately replied: "In fact, the third generation of the Tang family has three younger sisters in addition to the two brothers of the head of the family, and Tang Naven has two daughters in addition to his two sons, but the forces of these family systems are patriarchal, and women have no status in the Tang family, so the outside world only knows the men of the Tang family." ”

Tang Long pursed his lips and muttered, "Cut!" There is still such a patriarchal thing in this era. Speaking of this, Tang Long suddenly asked puzzledly: "Ah, in this way, Tang Zhong's status should be very poor, even if he is a relative of the head of the Tang family, is he still a family member?" So how can he have the qualifications of the fourth heir? ”

"Since his mother started by marrying her husband, Tang Zhong is considered a member of the Tang family in the Tang family tree, so he has the qualifications of the fourth heir. However, the qualifications of the heir have nothing to do with his rank, the Tang family stipulates that every child of the Tang family who has reached the age of 18 must start as a family soldier, and when the head of the family abdicates, the most meritorious child will inherit the position of the head of the family. Tang Zhong became a family member at the age of 19, which is good. Star Zero, who knew everything, said carefully to Tang Long.

In Tang Long's muttering, the group had already come to the outside of the spaceport. When he saw the floating car parked on the side of the road, with a bright appearance and a wide body, Tang Long couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because his father had used this kind of car, and he only spent a few thousand federal coins to buy a brand new one from the old car market. However, it only took a while to throw it away, because this floating car was a product that was eliminated by the Wanluo Federation more than ten years ago, and it had few functions. The Tang family wouldn't be so poor as to use this kind of floating car for thousands of dollars to greet guests, right?

Tang Zhong, who had been standing by the car door expressionlessly, saw the surprised expression on Tang Long's face, of course he knew what Tang Long was surprised about, so a trace of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face, and he said a little uncomfortably: "Since the family spends most of the tax money on armaments, there is not a lot of investment in other aspects. As he spoke, he made a gesture to Tang Long to invite him to get into the car.

Tang Long nodded hurriedly and took Yuna and Sally to the floating car, while No. 2 Star Zero analyzed in Tang Long's ear: "Tang Zhong will feel shy because the level of the car is too low, which means that he has vanity, it can be said that he is a person who cares about vanity very much, and he believes that he has a noble bloodline. If you want to attack him, you can start from both sides. ”

Tang Long nodded secretly, and at the same time thought proudly in his heart: "With the help of my computer sister, am I still afraid that I won't be able to handle the Tang family?" Hey, Zhongzhou Star, you're mine! ”

Tang Zhong, who was sitting opposite Tang Long, secretly looked at Tang Long, who was caught by two beauties, and secretly thought to himself: "What is it, to become a family leader at such a young age?" And he actually called Tang Long, a name equivalent to a family symbol? I wonder if my uncle will let him change his name? Alas, I heard that he was the person with the greatest merit in this battle, can he have this ability based on his appearance? It's a pity that my fiefdom is a small village, and I don't have the funds to buy a battleship at all, otherwise I, who own a battleship, would definitely be able to make such a feat! I wonder how much fiefdom he can get? According to his exploits, I am afraid there are several cities, right? ”

Tang Long saw that there were almost no high-rise buildings outside the window, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder what this Zhongzhou Star relied on as its main source of income. Tang Long, who was accustomed to asking questions when he had questions, immediately moved to Tang Zhong's side, patted Tang Zhong's shoulder and asked Tang Zhong very familiarly: "I said brother, what income does our planet rely on to sustain itself?" All the way I saw were housing, as if there were no shopping malls and factories. ”

Tang Zhong moved away a little in disgust, and after hesitating for a moment, he said very coldly: "We rely on animal husbandry, this is the capital, so we are all housing and no factories, and the shopping mall is relatively small, so we can't see it." ”

With a click, Tang Long's jaw fell, animal husbandry? Cultivation? In this era when food can be synthesized organically, there is still such an old industry? If the people of Zhongzhou Star rely on these incomes, won't they starve to death?

No. 2 Star, who knew that Tang Long was a stupid man who didn't understand anything, hurriedly said, "What are you surprised, close your mouth quickly." Tell you, animal husbandry is quite a good industry, you must know that although the food synthesized by the machine is very nutritious, the meat quality, texture, and taste of these synthetic foods are not as good as real meat food. A 500-gram piece of premium beef can be sold for tens of thousands of Wulai coins in the capital of the United States of Wulai, that is, 100,000 Luo coins, which is not a rich family that cannot afford to eat at all! Now in the universe, except for people who fly around in space all year round, there are only poor families. Have you forgotten that your mother's stir-fried pork dish is also made from pigs cultivated in animal husbandry? Also, there are a lot of stars and grasslands in Zhongzhou, which restricts it from developing in one direction, so that 90% of his total income is animal husbandry. ”

Tang Long swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect that animal husbandry was actually the main income of Zhongzhou Star, and it was no wonder that they used floating cars that had been eliminated for more than ten years. Since it relies on animal husbandry, then commercial exports are their lifeblood, as long as they pinch the blood of commercial exports, and believe that they are anti-customer-oriented, the people of Zhongzhou Star dare not talk much even if they have opinions, right?

Tang Long, who suddenly realized that he could get this planet as long as he pinched the main artery of the Zhongzhou Star, found that the car was parked in front of a huge palace before he could think about what to do. The dozens of guards at the gate of the palace originally wanted to come down to check the floating car, but after seeing Tang Zhong coming down, they returned to their place and stood still.

The palace gate, which is supported by eight pillars with a diameter of one meter and carved with dragon reliefs throughout the body, is carved with several strange square characters. The well-informed No. 2 Star Zero immediately explained the square words to Tang Long: "That is the text of a nation on the planet of origin of a human race in ancient times, and the meaning on it is the Council Palace. My source code is composed in this kind of text. ”

Tang Long didn't care about the huge secret that was inadvertently said at the end of No. 2 Star Zero, just "Oh." With a sound, he followed Tang Zhong, and under the gaze of dozens of guards, he walked into the gate of the Tang family's political hall with Yuna and Sari.

Tang Long originally thought that as soon as he entered the gate, he could see a huge hall, but what he saw was a huge blue light curtain, and in front of the blue light curtain, there was actually a counter with three armed soldiers standing guard. However, when they saw Tang Zhong walking to the counter and unloading the gun, Tang Long and the others knew what this counter was for, so they obediently did it.

Tang Zhong couldn't help but smile proudly when he saw Tang Long's cosmic spear that had become very earthy, as well as Yuna and Sari's two pistols made in the universe calendar 3414 that they had taken from the base warehouse, because his pistol was the latest.

Tang Long, who didn't know what the blue light curtain was for, knew it through the light curtain, and this light curtain was used for sound insulation. Tang Long was a little dumbfounded and looked at this hall that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, neatly arranged in a concave shape with nearly 10,000 meniscus-shaped tables three meters long, one meter wide, and thirty or forty centimeters high. Directly above the concave shape are two tables that are slightly higher and lower, and you can see that the tallest one is the head of the house, and the slightly lower one is the deputy head of the house.

Although these tables have a classic appearance, much like the ancient wooden tables used in movies, the few buttons and stereoscopic projection lenses on the tables let people know that this table is no less functional than a modern desk. The table is served with fruit and meat on a porcelain plate, as well as a jug made of porcelain, and several ceramic wine glasses on the sides. Of course, fruits and meats are not the same at all tables, but the closer you are to the head of the house, the more abundant the things on the table. For example, on the table near the door, there was only a plate of fruit, a plate of meat, and a small pot of wine. What surprised Tang Long more was not these, but that there was no chair here, and everyone was kneeling on a cushion. Seeing this, Tang Long could only pout helplessly, complaining in his heart that the Tang family's retro recovery was too much.

Now the nearly 10,000 tables are almost full of people, and the thousands of tables at the bottom of the concave shape, with only a few dishes on the table, are all occupied by one person. On both sides of the concave shape, there are three people sitting at the table with more rich dishes, but it can be seen that only the one sitting in the middle is the chief, and the subordinates on both sides are accompanied. Seeing this, Tang Long couldn't help but sigh that he was fortunate not to bring too many people, because according to the original proposal of the female soldiers, he wanted to bring a mecha company, but he was rejected by himself so as not to let the head of the family misunderstand the reason why he wanted to force the palace.

The entry of Tang Long and the others did not attract too many people's attention, but a few people close to the door glanced back at Tang Long. However, although Tang Long was not eye-catching, his two subordinates were the focus of many eyes. Feeling this, Tang Long couldn't help but murmur complainingly: "Am I not handsome?" No one looked at me. ”

Hearing Tang Long's words, Yuna and Sally's bodies shook violently, while Tang Zhong glanced at Tang Long with your arrogant gaze. As for No. 2 Star Zero, he smiled in Tang Long's ear: "It's all men here, who cares if you are handsome or not!" It wasn't until this moment that Tang Long discovered that there was no female surname in the entire hall except for the two subordinates beside him.

When Tang Zhong brought Tang Long in, a young man who seemed to be a waiter walked forward quickly and whispered, "Lord Tang Zhong, please come to the table, the little one will wait for Lord Tang Long." ”

Tang Zhong glanced at the man, nodded, saluted Tang Long, turned around and walked to those simple tables, found a table and sat down.

The waiter bent down to Tang Long and said, "Lord Tang Long, and these two adults, please come with me." As he spoke, he led the way.

Tang Long looked around and asked, "Is this table to sit on according to rank?" What level does it take to participate in such a conference? ”

The waiter looked back and smiled flatteringly: "You can participate in such a meeting above the family level." At the bottom of the house sit are all family songs and family members, and family departments, family generals, and family elders are sitting on both sides of this hall. Ah, your seat is here, please take your seat. He said, pointing to a table in front of him.

This table was in second place on the right side of the main hall, and Tang Long could feel that when he stood in this position, all the people in the entire hall shot their gazes together. And among them, there was this special look that contained incomprehension, jealousy, anger, and hatred, which made Tang Long notice that the owner of this look was opposite, that is, on the third table on the left side of the main hall, a middle-aged man with a face full of flesh and two big men shot over. Strangely, the two tables above this big man were the same as the one above his side, and there were two people who vacated the middle position and sat there on their knees without squinting.

Seeing this, and comparing the empty seat of the head of the family, Tang Long knew that these three tables were the seats of the old man, but why did the big man opposite look at me with such eyes? I don't know him. Puzzled, Tang Long scratched his head, ready to ask the person beside him. However, I saw the two middle-aged blonde men sitting there at the first table on the right side of him, as if they didn't ask about anything outside the window, so they had to look for the person on the left, but the three people on the left immediately turned their heads to the side after seeing themselves looking at them.

Just when Tang Long didn't know what was going on, the waiter leaned forward and whispered, "The head of the family asked you to hand over the military card to the little one and let the little one send it over." ”

Tang Long didn't care if he knew that this was an identity check, and asked while taking out his military card, "Why is that big guy on the other side looking at me like this?" I don't know him and I don't offend him, huh? ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but after looking left and right, he still leaned forward to take the military card, and said in a quick whisper: "The first place on the left side of the hall is the position of the elder Tang Zhongpu's family, the first place on the right is the position of the elder Joel Lund's family, and the second place on the left is the position of the elder Zhang Yi's family." And this position of yours turned out to be the position of General Zhang Wujia. With that, he walked away quickly.

Hearing this, Tang Long couldn't help but nodded with a sudden realization, it turned out that he had robbed someone else's position, no wonder others hated him. But I'm in fourth place when I first come, so I'm not one step closer to my goal? Proudly, Tang Long ignored the other people's gazes, and after motioning for Yuna and Sally to sit down, he sat cross-legged and enjoyed the delicious food on the table.
