Three days later, just when Schneider and Keno were a little anxious, Hua Mingtang finally returned.

Fang Mingwei and the others immediately found him and asked him to return to the Earth Alliance. Hua Mingtang didn't do much to keep it, but readily agreed.

After finishing his own affairs, Fang Mingwei asked about the old man seemingly casually.

After being stunned for a moment, Hua Mingtang replied with a normal face, everything is fine.

In fact, things are far from being as simple as he appears. Although that old man had been in a coma for more than ten years, he was also a fifteenth-level quasi-master of the spiritual department. Even if you are lying in bed, you can bring a faint sense of oppression to a master of the same level.

However, just a few days ago, when Hua Mingtang was accompanying him, he suddenly realized that the old man's spiritual strength was gone. At this moment, the old man on the hospital bed was like an ordinary frail old man, and his powerful spiritual power disappeared inexplicably.

At the beginning, Hua Mingtang thought it was his own illusion, so he asked a fifteenth-level spiritual master in the military camp to check it.

As you can imagine, the quasi-master didn't know who this old man was, so he told him the truth very frankly, that is, the old man on the bed didn't have any spiritual power at all.

The stunned Hua Mingtang sent his subordinates away, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't understand it, so he told a would-be master friend of his spiritual department about it.

As soon as the prospective master heard that there was such a strange thing, he immediately set off to rush over, and after a detailed examination, he was also amazed.

However, after all, this quasi-master was a person with real talent and learning, and he actually found a trace of spiritual power invasion in the old man's brain. As a result, the matter was quickly sealed, and everyone involved was severely interrogated. It's just that the time is still short, and the real murderer can't be found.

Although Hua Mingtang's mood was not very good, in the face of Fang Mingwei's enthusiastic inquiry, he naturally couldn't speak coldly, so he had to force a smile.

It's just that no matter how much power Hua Mingtang holds and how well-informed, it is absolutely impossible to think that the young man with a sincere face in front of him is the culprit of this matter.

However, he may not be able to know the true answer to this matter for the rest of his life.

Because with his IQ, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that there is a super skill in the world that can still absorb the spiritual power of others at such a distance.

Of course, he is not alone, as long as those in charge of the investigation strictly pay attention to scientific arguments and do not think about the myths of demons and monsters, there will never be a day when the truth will be revealed.

After getting the news that the old man was still alive, Fang Mingwei was obviously relieved, making the flower name hall next to him very grateful, and also surprised Schneider and Keno, when did this kid's acting skills become so amazing?

Fang Mingwei, who had let go of his worries, returned to his normal heart, took out a black box from his backpack, and said respectfully: "General Hua, we have been chased by pirates so far, please save your life." ”

Hua Mingtang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Mr. Fang, don't worry, I will send troops to escort you to the Earth Alliance, and ensure that there will be no more blind guys who will attack you." ”

Fang Mingwei had a bitter face and said, "General Hua, we didn't mean that." ”

"Oh." Hua Mingtang frowned, and said, "Mr. Fang, you also know that since they are pirates, they naturally have no fixed residence, and you can't tell which force they belong to, even if I want to exterminate them, I can't do anything." ”

Fang Mingwei shook his head and said, "We naturally don't know where the pirates come from, and we don't want to take revenge, we just want to ask you to come forward, plead with someone for us, and spare our lives." ”

A cold light suddenly flashed in Hua Mingtang's eyes, and he quickly understood the meaning of Fang Mingwei's words, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, you already know the people behind that group of pirates?" ”

"Yes." Fang Mingwei said respectfully.

"Who?"

"It's His Excellency the Ambassador of the Newman Empire to the Ortega Federation."

The chill in Hua Mingtang's eyes became stronger and stronger, but it was obvious that he was not just at Fang Mingwei and the others, a large part of it was due to accident and surprise.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Fang Mingwei took the box in his hand, opened it, revealing the inconspicuous crown, and said: "The culprit of everything is this antique, this thing is the crown of His Majesty a certain emperor of the Pesotho Empire, and it was later collected by one of the princes. Although once this thing leaves Pesotho, its collectible value is greatly reduced. But it can still be sold for a few pennies after all. And we, a group of unlucky ghosts, were hunted down and killed for these few pennies, and we were almost wiped out. ”

Hua Mingtang's face changed suddenly, but he quickly regained his composure, and said, "Mr. Fang, please give me a little time to investigate, after three days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, that's really troublesome General Hua." Fang Mingwei said respectfully: "In the Newman Empire, I only know that General Hua is alone, if I have the opportunity to stay in the future, I also hope that General Hua can take care of him more." ”

Hua Mingtang's eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a smile: "I am friends with Wang Ziqiang, since everyone is our own people, why should we be so polite." ”

Fang Mingwei humbled a few words again, said goodbye to Schneider and the others, and returned to the room, but from beginning to end, Fang Mingwei held the box in his hand, and did not have the slightest intention of handing this thing to Hua Mingtang.

※※※※

In the blink of an eye, the third day had passed, and General Hua Mingtang invited Fang Mingwei to come to the main hall, and after sending off the non-commissioned officers, he said solemnly: "Mr. Fang, I have already investigated this matter, and it is indeed the work of the descendants of our family, for this, I express my most sincere apologies to you." ”

After that, the old general actually bowed deeply to Fang Mingwei.

Fang Mingwei was shocked and hurriedly dodged, although he knew that Hua Mingtang not only valued him, but also had a hint of flattery, so he would take over the matter in a big way, and made up his mind to get the crown.

However, no matter how he guessed in advance, he didn't expect Hua Mingtang to do this.

As a high-ranking general of a fifth-level country, he would actually make amends to the citizens of a second-level civilized country, to be honest, it really flattered Fang Mingwei.

"General Hua, why are you doing this? I'm just talking, hoping to turn the conflict into a jade silk, and I don't have the slightest sense of blame. ”

Hua Mingtang sighed deeply and said, "Mr. Fang has a lot, you can ignore it, but we can't tolerate it." This matter was actually done by Xiao Sun Hua Jiahong. ”

Looking at Fang Mingwei's puzzled eyes, he explained: "There is a strange legend circulating in the Pesotho Empire, that is, about that crown, saying that this crown is mysterious and has magical powers that no one can reach. This legend made Xiao Sun overhear it, and he was curious for a while, so he had the idea of taking it for himself. ”

Fang Mingwei nodded slightly, and asked, "With Ling Sun's power, as long as he shows his meaning to that prince, he should be able to send things obediently." But why did he go to the trouble of hiring mercenaries instead? ”

Hua Mingtang's old face flushed slightly, and sighed: "This thing is funny, it's all because Xiao Sun has a few fox friends and dog friends, they have nothing to do, they bet privately, saying that they can't bully others, and they must obtain this thing anonymously." So ......"

Fang Mingwei's face also became strange, he and Schneider and the others couldn't figure out why Hua Ruoshan didn't directly ask for the crown, but instead went around in a big circle of 108,000 miles. It turned out that the culprit of all this turned out to be a gamble made by a few gentlemen when they were bored.

It is no wonder that these gentlemen rely on the fame of their ancestors, no matter how ridiculous they may be.

In fact, Fang Mingwei peeked at Hua Mingtang's face, and he also knew a little in his heart, although Hua Mingtang said it funny, but there was no blame in his heart. If he wasn't one of the sufferers of this matter, it is estimated that after hearing this, Hua Mingtang would laugh at most.

"I see, Ling Sun is really a ......" Fang Mingwei thought about it, but he really couldn't think of anything to compliment the eldest young master, so he changed the topic and said, "Then what about the pirate ships that are chasing us, what is their origin." ”

Hua Mingtang coughed embarrassedly and said, "After Xiao'er knew what Jiahong did, he was very angry, but it was too late to stop it, so he ......."

Fang Mingwei gasped, it turned out that Hua Ruoshan had personally arranged it, no wonder the strength of those pirates was amazing, even he couldn't parry it, so he could only escape with hope.

Hua Mingtang's face turned pale, and he said: "My two children and grandchildren didn't know that Wang Ziqiang's disciples were involved in this matter, so they didn't have any sense of proportion, and I ask Mr. Fang to forgive me." ”

Fang Mingwei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "General Hua, since the matter has passed, you don't need to mention it again, it's all an unintentional mistake, and no one will take it to heart." ”

"I'm ashamed." Hua Mingtang shook his head and said: "Mr. Fang has such a large amount, it is really shameful, so let's do it, since Mr. Fang wants to go back, then I will prepare some gifts for you, even if it is for the purpose of accomplishing crimes, please don't shirk it." ”

Fang Mingwei laughed, knowing that if he didn't accept these gifts, the old general would be suspicious. So after humbly saying two sentences, he smiled unceremoniously.

As for the origin of all the misfortunes, the legendary crown, these two people have tacitly forgotten together.
