Chapter 131: Forced Marriage
In a hurry, he wanted to marry Erin to Haoyi for his brother, but it was actually Bob's idea that he thought about it and held back it.
Before he took Haoyi to this gorgeous little restaurant to have a full meal, Bob received news from his subordinates. The content of the news is the general order issued by Jeff and the wanted warrant for Haoyi and Erin, etc. The spicy Bob quickly realized that he had to take countermeasures immediately, otherwise, he would be in a passive state in the confrontation with Jeff Shili.
As for what kind of effective response to make, Bob first thought of the word "justifiable". Jeff has taken the lead in using the media to trumpet his rightful status as Generalissimo and the new prime minister, either on the pretext of being the former Prime Minister Bertreme's personal appointment before his death.
In terms of public opinion building, Jeff can be said to have taken the so-called right lead. Whether the people of St. Prollis believe it or not, he is already the new ruler of the "nominally" republic. For any party that tries to oppose him, Jeff can use the banner of "counterinsurgency" to strengthen his own momentum.
In order to remedy this disadvantage, Bob Shili must also find a reasonable reason to convince the media and the general public to "justify" himself against Jeff Shili. From this, Bob's first thought was of his niece Irene, who had survived the Felton massacre.
Originally, as the only bloodline left behind by Bertrem, Erin's identity was more convincing than Jeff's. However, Jeff's think tank preemptively accused Erin of colluding with outsiders and murdering her father's life, and issued a wanted warrant to the whole country. This forced Bob to come up with another trick.
When he saw Haoyi eating and drinking at the table, Bob suddenly remembered the last words that Erin had shyly conveyed to him, about Bertreme's deathbed. As a result, a shocking countermeasure flashed in Bob's mind.
His countermeasure is also very simple, that is, immediately use Bertreme's last order as an excuse to let Haoyi marry Erin. To the outside world, it hyped up the inhumane and inhumane massacre of the field army in Felton City, and claimed that Haoyi and Erin were originally lovers, and it was Jeff who poisoned Bertham and Haoyi in order to seize power and love, and wantonly spread rumors and slander, and the real culprit who betrayed and tried to destroy the republic was the demonic Jeff.
As soon as such a reasonable statement came out, the public opinion circles and thousands of people in the St. Proli Star District must be in an uproar, and it is also the best and most effective counterattack to Jeff Shili's aggressive posture.
Of course, the reason why Bob dared to be married to Hao Yi by Erin for his brother, in addition to the need to fight against Jeff Shili, the most fundamental reason was his brother's will, and the seemingly rough Bob had also patiently and meticulously asked Erin's opinion before talking to Hao Yi. At that time, Erin's shy appearance of a squirming girl made Bob understand that his niece's heart should indeed be in Haoyi. The reason is very simple, Bertreme had mentioned that he wanted to marry Erin to Jeff, and Erin, who was quite a mother at the time, was actually a big woman, and after a quarrel with her family, she ran away from home in a huff. Compared with that time, Erin's shy appearance made Bob feel reassured.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, boy?" Seeing Hao Yi fall under the table with his own eyes, Bob stared at the bull's eye, leaned over and squatted in front of Hao Yi's nose, and asked seriously: "Is it hard to believe for a while that such a good thing will fall from the sky?" ”
"Ahem, old bag, I want to ask you what kind of social system is practiced here?" Hao Yi raised his bruised and swollen head and asked innocently.
"Uh, why are you asking this?" Bob was stunned.
"I want to find out, are you all forced to marry like this?" Haoyi replied with a smile and a smile.
"Forced marriage?" Bob's bull's eyes flashed, and he suddenly got up and shouted, "What do you mean by a little rabbit?" Could it be that my niece married you, and you are still wronged? ”
"No, no, no! Don't get me wrong, old bag! Haoyi hurriedly got up from under the dining table, looked at Bob's big face that changed color, and his heart trembled for no reason, and he said in frustration: "Hey, you have to give me some time!" At least I'll have to go home and ask my parents, right? No matter what Young Master Ben says, he is not an orphan without a father or mother, marrying a daughter-in-law is such a big thing, if the two old people don't know, I'm afraid they will swallow Young Master Ben alive! ”
Hearing Haoyi's reason, Bob gasped and slowly calmed down, his bull's eyes turned, and he suddenly said with a stiff face: "Okay, then you and Erin will get engaged first, and when you take your parents over, it's not too late to get married!" ”
"Ahh Haoyi didn't expect this "old bag" to come up with such a trick, and he was so shocked that his mouth opened into an "O" shape, and he was instantly petrified in place.
"Eat well, my son-in-law-to-be!" A hint of sly light flashed in Bob Niu's eyes, and he grinned widely, and then left Haoyi and walked straight out of the small restaurant.
Half an hour later, the news of the imminent engagement of the former Prime Minister's daughter, Miss Irene, quickly spread throughout the base. Although things don't seem to have much to do with themselves, this festive news still dilutes people's fears about the upcoming **. As Captain Bob personally confirmed the news, the staff of various departments at the base stopped what they were doing and began to get busy with Miss Irene's engagement celebration.
According to the ancient custom, red lanterns and red letters were hung one after another in all corners of the base, and the original solemn and depressing atmosphere was replaced by a cheerful and festive atmosphere. People were busy, laughing, talking, and even young men and women began to rehearse their songs and dances. As night fell, the building complex, which was originally used as a backup secret base for the Tikaru government, was actually lit up, completely losing the mystery that a secret base should have, and the Tenjin Terrace not far away was also brightened.
Of course, this was also instructed by Bob himself. He prepares to hold Erin's engagement ceremony with great fanfare, and use it to reveal Jeff's true colors to the outside world, and take the opportunity to reveal the inside story of the Felton massacre. If this move is successful, it will undoubtedly give Jeff Shili a head start, and can also erect the banner of justice for Bob Shili, and even win back the hearts of the people who are about to lose.
The engagement ceremony was set for tomorrow noon by the hot-tempered Bob, and several major media companies on the planet Tikru had already received invitations from the planet's government. At the same time, the propaganda department of the planetary government also began to make a series of preparations in advance. Synthesized by high-tech computer means, the holographic images of Haoyi and Erin showing affection have been displayed on the big propaganda screens around the base one after another. Along with the playback, there are also images of the two of them working together in the ruins. Of course, there is an indispensable computer-synthesized sound that is played frequently and repeatedly, and the fictional story of the two is quite touching.
After Haoyi was confirmed by Bob as his niece's son-in-law, he also regained his free status, except for some places that could only be entered with Bob's approval, the entire base of this guy could almost walk sideways. The former prime minister's son-in-law and the current niece and son-in-law of the current captain of Tikru, this identity is enough to make countless young male compatriots cast a hot and stinging gaze at Haoyi. If those eyes turned into real arrows, there is no doubt that Haoyi would have died for a long time.
Now, this guy who was smashed all over his head by an unexpected peach blossom luck is wandering aimlessly around this base.
"Ya, was Lao Tzu "married" like this? Glancing at the brightly lit base building complex, looking up at the starlight, Haoyi, a single-celled guy, sighed with emotion for no reason.
The planetary government's backup base is a half-buried base, and with the exception of a small and inconsequential government department that remains on the ground, all other important departments are usually based in the base deep above the ground. The huge base is a little empty and desolate because there are not many buildings on the ground. Hao Yi unconsciously wandered to the backyard of the base near the direction of Tianshentai, and simply found a huge rock exposed outside the surface, lay down, and looked at the towering Tianshentai in the distance.
"Hey, I wonder if they have arrived home safely now?" The cool night breeze of the summer night blew, and Haoyi breathed deeply, and he involuntarily lost his mind. In a daze, he seemed to see Er Fat, Lao Chen, Dalena again, his former comrades-in-arms, his parents, and even Zhu Xueer and the beautiful reporter Xia Li. Familiar figures flashed in front of him, and the pictures that he had experienced in person overlapped one after another, and unconsciously, Haoyi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and Zuihou was slowly closed.
And almost at the same time as his eyelids slowly closed, an extremely strange phenomenon appeared on Hao Yi.
First, the light blue streamer slowly emerged from Haoyi's body. Then, these pale blue points of light gradually connected into a piece, forming a brilliant halo around Haoyi's body. With the passage of time little by little, this pale blue halo slowly bloomed brightly, and under the hazy starlight, it was dazzling and abnormal. If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the base was busy preparing for tomorrow's celebration, I'm afraid that someone would have discovered this vision in the backyard of the base.
And as the pale blue halo became more and more abundant, Hao Yi, who was originally lying flat on the boulder, actually floated in the air in a strange volley. It rises centimeter by centimeter until it reaches a height of about half a meter from the rock, and then stops. Then, Haoyi, whose eyes were closed, actually spun on his own, although the speed was very slow, but it seemed that he could never stop one after another.
"Poof......" A few soft sounds came, and from the three wounds on Haoyi's back and legs, three stinky black blood suddenly spurted out. Those three wounds are exactly where the queen's stinger studied. After being rescued by the rescue team led by Guo Ling, although the three sharp and abnormal stingers were removed after a simple operation, Haoyi still felt dizzy and powerless from time to time, probably because the toxins left in the body by the stingers after the worm were not cleaned up.
After the three poisonous blood spurted out, Hao Yi, who was covered in a light blue halo, slowly turned ruddy.
However, Haoyi, who had his eyes closed to all this, didn't know. At this moment, he was immersed in that strange bloody and cruel nightmare, the boundless sea of worms, the blood-covered star warriors, and the entire planet that had been reduced to ruins......
"Wow, that's beautiful!" At this moment, a crisp female voice suddenly came from the distance. Haoyi, who was originally floating in mid-air, suddenly disappeared in response to the vision, and then fell down with a whizz.
"Oops......" Haoyi let out a miserable howl in the cool night sky......
