Chapter 343 An Unexpected Reunion
Regarding Lancelot's tragic situation, Tang Fang knew better than anyone else that the reason why he dismissed Aros was because he didn't want the old soldier to soften his heart and kill the butcher with a single shot. .
demon? What about demons? He had already made up his mind when he saw the devastated and corpse-strewn Wendenbat, and the living leaning against the corner, staring blankly at the ruins, letting the rain and tears wet his body.
Those in power regard civilians as cattle and sheep, so why should he be kind to people like Lancelot.
"Tang Fang...Tang Fang..." As he was walking, Hao Sen shouted urgently from behind.
"Huh?" Tang Fang paused, turned his head to see that guy was walking from the end of the corridor, holding someone in his arms.
"Aren't you training'Park Min Ho'? Why are you here suddenly? And, where's Aros? Who's in your arms. "
"Huh, huh..." Howson stepped up to his side and said out of breath, "Leave Aros alone, just take a look at her."
"Her?" Tang Fang looked down, only to find that Hao Sen was not holding Park Min Ho, but a woman. Black short hair with eyebrows, willow-leaf eyebrows, melon-seeded face, and a small, well-proportioned mouth, especially a pair of beautiful legs, slender and slender, with a body shape similar to that of Claire. Such a figure is not uncommon among Asians. more common.
There is no doubt that this is a beauty. However, at this very moment, the beautiful woman is closing her eyes, her clothes are ragged, and her body is covered with large and small blue and purple welts, making it hard to bear to look directly at.
Without saying anything, Tang Fang summoned a medical soldier and ordered, "Go and see her."
Nurse mm stepped forward to check, and casually injected a certain dose of nutrients into the woman's right arm: "There is no major problem, it's just that she was stunned, and I believe she will wake up soon."
"Huh... It's okay, it's okay." Hao Sen patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
Tang Fang put it aside and watched it funny, and joked: "Hausen, aren't you filming a big movie limited to 'adults'? The protagonist is obviously a beautiful boy, why is there a woman stealing the show suddenly? Seeing you are so nervous about her , does it have something to do with you?"
As he said that, he looked at the director with a half-smile. Don't look at this guy who does things without brains, relying entirely on momentum. He definitely belongs to the level of sticks and hammers. However, he has a lot of luck, such as Alma of the Croatan Philips caravan.
Hearing this at first, Hao Sen was taken aback for a moment, blinked a pair of bull's eyes like copper bells, and shook the woman in his arms: "Tang Fang, you don't know her anymore?"
"Huh?" Tang Fang looked at the woman,
Look at Howson again: "I...know her?"
"Hi!" Howson stomped his feet, brushed the woman's hair, and pressed it behind her sideburns: "Look again, look carefully, think about if she is bald..."
Following Hao Sen's reminder, Tang Fang's pupils became bigger and bigger, and the girl in front of him gradually merged with a figure in his memory: "Zhou...Zhou Ai?"
The girl in Howson's arms turned out to be Zhou Ai, the Zhou Ai who followed him all the way underground on planet 5 and left with Byron! Didn't she leave with Byron, why did she appear here?
"Hmm..." Just as Tang Fang was stunned, Zhou Ai groaned softly and woke up leisurely. Thinking that he realized that he was in someone else's arms, he rolled over and fell to the ground. When he was about to make a move, he suddenly glanced at Tang Fang next to him, his eyes burst into a bright light, and he asked in surprise and joy, "Tang Fang?"
"It's me." Tang Fang nodded subconsciously: "You are... Zhou Ai?"
"Why are you here?" Zhou Ai glanced at the surrounding environment in a daze, apparently still not recovering from the shock.
"Zhou Ai, do you still recognize me?" Before Tang Fang could reply, Howson interrupted and asked.
"You are... Howson!" Zhou Ai looked at him carefully, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right... By the way, didn't you go with Byron? Why did you appear in Rector and be imprisoned in the cell at the naval port?"
It's okay if Hao Sen didn't say anything, but Zhou Ai's expression changed drastically when he said this, and he turned his head and grabbed Tang Fang's hand: "Tang Fang, hurry... hurry up, before they arrive. It will be too late if you don't leave! "
"Zhou Ai, don't worry, tell me slowly, who are they? What's going on?" Tang Fang patted the back of her hand.
"The Shadow Fleet of the Marquis of Kane, the Southern Cross Fleet of the Marquis of Elan, the Kaleidoscope Fleet of Prince Walker, and the Ryujo Fleet of our Zhou family, they are coming towards Rector, I believe they will arrive in a few hours." will reach the Megarian star system."
"What!" Howson's expression changed. Marquis Kane, Wei Hongguang, Prince Walker...these people all have a common enemy, and that is Tang Fang. They assembled a large army and marched towards Mejiaer. For what purpose, you can think about it with your butt.
The expression on Tang Fang's face also became extremely solemn, Zhou Ai had no reason to lie to him. Shadow Fleet, Southern Cross Fleet, Kaleidoscope Fleet, Ryūjō Fleet, good guy, there are 4 fleets coming in one breath...
He can defeat the Rector Navy by playing tactics, using means, and destroying, but it doesn't mean that he can defeat the United Fleet. With the current military strength, not to mention 4, even if it is only 1, it is enough for him to drink a pot.
The news provided by Zhou Ai was really timely. If it wasn't for her, she would have been captured by the United Fleet, maimed, or even killed.
Lancelot was ruthless enough that he didn't use this news in exchange for a quick death. What a close call, this time, thanks to Zhou Ai.
"Tang Fang, why are you still standing there... why don't you act quickly." The girl over there turned pale.
"Zhou Ai, don't worry, didn't you say they will arrive in a few hours?"
"Yes, it will take a few more hours, but if you want to leave Rector, you must tear the warp jump interception net on the edge of the Megar star system, which will take a certain amount of time..."
"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome." Tang Fang squinted his eyes and said, with just a few words, he had already turned several thoughts in his mind.
There are still a few hours, whether it is long or short, the key is how to make good use of these hours.
Ling Su from the military port energy storage warehouse left before he got it? That's not his style.
Also, Lancelot's "Silver Wheel" is second to most ships. "Aurora" is a good thing. It's a lie to say that it's not coveted. Since the Young Duke can use it, why can't he use it?
After the Morning Star was installed with the "Zero Element Particle Space Effect Field Generator", it gained the ability to sneak stealthily. If "Aurora" is dealt with again, it will be no less than a shotgun change.
In addition, who is the person who manipulated the particle cannon to help Rector Inland? If it is really Dunbar Taylor, do you want to pick him up and leave?
In fact, Tang Fang had another bold and crazy idea. The combination of the 4 fleets is such a big deal, that old guy Wei Hongguang really spent a lot of money in order to put himself to death. Along the way, the damn Marquis Elan was like a disgusting mangy dog, staring at his own ass all the time.
He had had enough, and this time, he was going to turn his head and fly a brick at it. With 4 fleets, it is certain that they will not win if they fight head-on, but well, I don't have a Ruyi golden cudgel, but I have an immovable Dinghaishen needle. If I can't poke you to death, I will crush you to death!
With these four considerations, Tang Fang gradually calmed down: "I have a solution, let's go, follow me."
"Tang Fang?" Obviously, Zhou Ai was still full of worries. Next to him, Howson patted her on the shoulder: "I said Zhou Ai, weren't you a very steady person when you were on planet 5? Why did you suddenly become timid and cautious now?"
Zhou Ai gave him a hard look: "That's 4 fleets, thousands of warships!" As a member of the Zhou family, she had been in the fleet for a while, but she knew the strength of the Longxiang fleet better than anyone else. It is because of understanding that there is fear.
"Hey, don't worry, let's go. Since Tang Fang said he has an idea, there is no need to worry. In the past, we could only look up to forces like the Rector Navy Fleet, but now? 500 ships The battleship was wiped out, Silbero's naval port was lost, and even Lancelot himself became a prisoner."
"What, Rector navy gray...the ashes are gone?" Zhou Ai opened his mouth wide, with a dull expression on his face, and let Howson pull her forward.
"Otherwise, where do you think we are now?" Howson asked as he walked, "By the way, didn't you go with Byron? Why did you suddenly appear here? And you were locked in a cell by Lancelot?"
"Hey!" Zhou Ai sighed, and slowly told the experience of the past three months.
Thinking about escaping from the "Archimedes" with the help of Tang Fang, she declined Byron's invitation, and the two parties parted ways in the Quadal star system. Afterwards, Zhou Ai returned to the Zhou family's fiefdom, the Qirog star system, after a few days.
Speaking of it, Zhou Ai's identity is a bit embarrassing. In the empire's archives, her identity is a murderer, not a queen of nobles. However, in the eyes of others, it is actually the granddaughter of Zhou Hanlin, Marquis of Qirog, and the daughter of Zhou Hongzu, Chief of Staff of the Huben Fleet.
Zhou Ai is 25 years old this year, one year older than Tang Fang. After becoming a nobleman, most of the granddaughters of the Marquis of the Empire, girls like Zhou Ai, have already married as wives. Of course, as a descendant of aristocrats, political marriage is essential.
One year ago, in order to improve the relationship between the Zhou family and the Duke of Orlando, the eighth prince of the empire, Curadra Stewart, was the one to make the arrangements. Zhou Hanlin made the decision to marry Zhou Ai and Orlando Keller's grandson Ladios.
As the saying goes, the world is big, and there are no surprises. There are fools among the people, and there are also fools among the rich and powerful. There are strange people everywhere, and strange flowers bloom from time to time. If it is said to be bold and reckless, Ladios can definitely be regarded as the No. 1 person. Aspirations such as "building a big harem" and "marrying his seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courts" can be ignored.
After all, like a noble heir, who hasn't played with a few women? Who doesn't marry a few wives and concubines? A girl of Zhou Ai's background naturally wouldn't regard it as a big deal for a man to find a woman, and if there is a divorce or separation, as long as the identity of the main house is not shaken, she will turn a blind eye and close one eye and let them play.
However, this Ladios is a big strange flower, a morning glory in the strange flower forest. Like ordinary actresses and supermodels, as the grandson of the duke and the descendant of nobles, it doesn't matter what he wants to do and how he wants to do it. Not to mention 3*, 4P, even s.m, group sex party, no one dares to say anything.
But he desperately put his bad idea on Zhou Ai---his new wife. On the first day of their wedding, he actually brought a group of good buddies, of course, they were all sons of princes, and entered the bridal chamber under the catalysis of alcohol. There are x and x (make up by yourself).
Who is Zhou Ai, the granddaughter of Marquis Qirog, the white lotus of the Zhou family, if she wants status and appearance, she is still a perfect body. How could she be humiliated like this?
From the series of events experienced by planet No. 5, we can see how strong the girl's temperament is. Originally, she felt aggrieved to marry such a lustful person, but because of her family relationship, she had to do it.
Until Ladios entered the bridal chamber with a group of beasts in clothes and yelled out the ridiculous and disgusting slogans, Zhou Ai finally couldn't bear it anymore, and killed all of Ladios and others in a rage, and escaped from the Dukedom under the cover of his friends. .
As a result, things suddenly changed. Ladios was stabbed to death in the bridal chamber by his new wife, and Orlando Keller lost all face. Not to mention that he was not the only one who died, but also other dignitaries. 8 Prince Culadra Stewart's face was also dull. After all, he was the matchmaker for this marriage.
Ever since, a mountain of pressure fell on Zhou Hanlin's head. Forced to do nothing, he could only reluctantly expel Zhou Ai from the Zhou family, take back her noble status, and allow the imperial judicial department to charge her with the crime of murdering her husband and make her wanted all over the country.
There are many princes and princes in the Mengya Empire, each with its own fief, and the relationship between the dignitaries is complicated, and Zhou Ai is the grandson of Zhou Hanlin. There are people who are happy to see her die, and there are people who are willing to sell the Zhou family a favor, and there are people who turn a blind eye. Zhou Ai fled all the way until he passed through the Salton star system before he was captured by the Imperial Judicial Department. Then, he was thrown into the Guixu No. 1 space station, waiting for the final judgment of the Royal Court.
There is no need to elaborate on what happened next, until he escaped from the Archimedes scientific research ship and secretly escaped from the Quadal system back to the Chirog star system.
The political environment of the Mongya Empire is somewhat similar to the ancient feudal society. Most of the national territory is directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, while others are used as feudal lands, special military zones, and autonomous territories.
In the territory directly under the central government, the upper-level decrees naturally pass without hindrance, but when it comes to the fiefdoms of the princes, the effectiveness will be greatly reduced, especially on some sensitive issues.
Just like Zhou Ai, she had to be careful and hide in other vassal territories and areas under the central jurisdiction. However, when it came to Chirog, it was quite different.
Zhou Hanlin has always regarded Zhou Ai as the apple of his eye. If the old man is not dead, who would dare to touch her? As long as Zhou Ai pays more attention and doesn't show up on some important occasions so that some high-level dignitaries can't step down, she won't be in any danger.
Even if Orlando Keller has eight princes to back him up, so what, as long as Curadra Stewart does not take the throne for a day, the Zhou family doesn't need to care about anything. After all, it was wrong for Zhou Ai to kill people, but Ladios was really a little bit hateful. On the night of the bridal chamber and the full moon, he actually brought a group of cronies to harm his newlywed wife.
It's fine if it's an ordinary woman or a junior official. The key point is that Zhou Ai is the beloved grandson of Marquis Qirog, and what he did is no less than slapping Zhou Hanlin. Therefore, even if the eighth prince wants to favor Orlando Keller, it is not easy to go too far.
The reason why Zhou Hanlin dotes on Zhou Ai is precisely because he sees the shadow of himself in her back then. Therefore, even though it was declared outwardly that she had been expelled from the family, in fact she was still treated as her own granddaughter.
In this way, Zhou Ai returned to the family territory and lived a reclusive life. Until more than a month later, the name "Tang Fang" was suddenly heard in the conversation between his father Zhou Hongzu and his clan brothers, and he learned that Wei Hongguang, Kane Rudolph and others had invited Zhou Hanlin to send troops to the Megall star system to encircle and suppress the rebels. military.
When she was in the Salton star system, Tang Fang was kind to her for saving her life. With Zhou Ai's personality, naturally he would not just sit and watch him fall into Wei Hongguang's trap, so he found Zhou Hanlin and told the story of what happened on planet 5. Tell her grandfather who loves her so much from beginning to end.
In Zhou Ai's view, even if the Zhou family had enmity with the Garcia rebels, there was no need to embarrass Tang Fang. She knew very well that Tang Fang's purpose in going to Rector was to pick up his younger siblings, and then Leaving the empire, even if there is some friendship with the Garcia Rebels, it is just an ally relationship. Tang Fang had saved her life, and according to Zhou Hanlin's temperament, he would definitely find a way to repay this kindness.
However, after some careful consideration, Zhou Hanlin still decided to send the Longxiang Fleet. It's just that his order to Zhou Hongyun was that if the two sides were to fight, the Longxiang Fleet only had to put on a show and work without any effort.
Although Zhou Ai was dissatisfied, he also understood that Zhou Hanlin had to do this. The relationship between the Zhou family and the Rudolph family is good. The Marquis of Kane personally came to the door for this matter. If Zhou Hanlin refuses to comply, he will definitely make the other party unhappy. On the one hand, the interests of the family are involved, and on the other hand, he is the savior of his granddaughter. Zhou Hanlin can only choose a compromise method and become Mr. Dong Guo.
At first, Zhou Ai wanted to beg his grandfather to send Tang Fang the news through a secret channel, but it was a bit unrealistic when he thought about it carefully. Zhou Hanlin is a majestic marquis of the empire. When it comes to dealing with the issue of rebellion, it is inappropriate to release water. If he sends news to Tang Fang again, once the news is leaked and his Majesty learns, he will be labeled collaborating with the enemy and treasonously. The whole family is afraid that they will all have to go in.
Judging from the troops invested by the princes' forces, even if the Longxiang fleet released water. Facing the three fleets of Shadow, Southern Cross, and Kaleidoscope, Tang Fang also had no chance of winning. Is it possible to watch him fall into the encirclement of Wei Hongguang, Kane Rudolph and others like this? r
