"Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, our count invites you to have lunch together." The virtual screen in the guest room had just received the communication from the old housekeeper. A virtual form of human proportions was already standing at the door of the guest room, bowing politely. A bow.
Jiang Zhixian helped the delicate and beautiful "Mrs. Jiang" up, and the two smiled politely.
"Okay, please Earl Leicester, please wait a moment."
Five minutes later, Jiang Zhixian and Shen Qingqing, fully dressed, opened the door.
The Earl of Leicester is a hedonist, which can be seen from the decorative style of this cargo starship.
The medieval-style restaurant on ancient earth looks noble and elegant. It is worthy of being the most extravagant Imolo tribe in the eight galaxies. The gleaming light yellow chandelier, the white candle hanging on the wall, and the 5-meter-long The dining table is covered with an off-white dark patterned tablecloth.
There were gilt plates, knives and forks, fragrant red wine, and clusters of flowers on the table. Some say that this was the first time Shen quietly saw such an authentic noble banquet after leaving the empire.
"Here you come?" Earl Leint changed his clothes and was still an elegant gentleman.
Jiang Zhixian nodded and helped Shen quietly pull out the chair.
"Your Majesty, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Not long after we finished eating, I happened to have something important to discuss with Mr. Jiang." Earl Leicester was still smiling, but the temperature in the restaurant suddenly became a bit colder.
Jiang Zhixian suddenly leaned to the side and whispered into Shen Qing's ear. It was like flirting with his lover. The Earl of Leicester paused slightly and then laughed ambiguously.
However, only Shen Qiao could hear what kind of nonsense he was talking about under his cool and carefree appearance.
"Shen Qingqing, eat quickly. In three minutes, I will overturn the table!"
"..."
Thank you very much.
Seeing that Shen Qiu had been hungry for seven days on the deserted star and finally had a meal, I gave her three minutes at least before flipping the table.
So why are you flipping the table now?
Shen Qingqian was speechless, but she still picked up the spoon, chose a bowl of cream of mushroom soup and drank it.
But what Jiang Zhixian was thinking was that the eldest lady was just the eldest lady. She didn't even know how to eat. She drank soup at this time and didn't care whether she was full at all.
If the Shen family had declined and thrown her into Black Dragon City, she would have starved to death long ago.
"Eat some of this." Jiang Zhixian gently helped her peel two shrimps and began to actively feed them.
Shen Qingqian's long eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't refuse. She obediently stuffed two balls of shrimp meat into her mouth. It was indeed delicious.
When Jiang Zhixian saw that she had eaten, he didn't care that his stomach was still empty, so he took another piece of foie gras and put it into Shen Qingqing's bowl.
"Try this again."
"..." Shen quietly put down his spoon and ate the foie gras in small bites.
"This snail is not bad either."
"Would you like me to cut the steak for you?"
Jiang Zhixian was very excited about feeding her. He was about to roll up his sleeves and cut the steak for her personally. Shen Qingqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Jiang Zhixian in the leg.
Under the dining table, no one knew that Jiang Zhixian had been kicked and had to sit up straight again with a tight smile.
On the other hand, Shen Qingqiu had already wiped the corners of his mouth, picked up a glass of red wine elegantly, and took a sip.
This time, Lester's eyes deepened. "Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are very loving."
Last time I came here, this person was surrounded by a few rough guys, but now he is single, which is unbelievable.
Jiang Zhixian didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. Instead, he glanced sideways and spoke nonsense to Lester. "Of course, I can't explain it to someone like you who doesn't have a wife."
"..." The fork that was bitten by the mocked Lester made a clicking sound.
Anyone who is well-informed doesn't know that Leicester was madly pursuing an interstellar star in the first half of the year.
Flowers are sent from one starship to another, gems are a series of orders, and the popularity list is worth tens of millions! It’s called a storm, and everyone knows it. It was the 100th time in Leicester After the courtship, the aloof female star finally officially issued him a good guy card and then married Lester's cousin.
The award for the worst spare tire of the year goes to Leicester.
"Jiang, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Jiang Zhixian stood up awkwardly, and the chair behind him suddenly hit the ground with a loud bang.
Before Lester could react, Jiang Zhixian had already raised his right leg and kicked over the dining table in front of him. All kinds of gilt plates and food were smashed to the ground, and even the red wine on the table was broken to pieces. , had Shen Qiu not retreated in time, there would have been a few drops of wine stains on his body.
Lester didn't expect it. Now he was sitting in the host's seat like a clown, with a fork in his hand and a napkin around his neck. But now that the table was gone, he looked a little ridiculous.
Jiang Zhixian lifted the table, stepped in black combat boots, and walked up to Lester step by step, his brows raised high.
"I've tolerated you for a long time!"
This time, Lester finally couldn't pretend anymore. He drew out a long sword angrily and said, "Someone! Someone here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm on the starship sounded instantly, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps, and soon Leicester's guards rushed over with guns in hand.
Jiang Zhixian didn't seem to care. He looked coldly and grabbed Lester's collar, "You dare to call the Guards, who are you looking down on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly snatched the fencing sword from Lester's hand and stabbed it hard on the floor.
"Lester, you take my things and sell them to others at a higher price. Do your family members know?"
A drop of sweat trickled down from Lester's forehead. He waved his hand awkwardly and said to the nervous old butler outside.
"Mr. Jiang and I are joking. Let the escort team go out first..."
"My Lord Count."
"go out!"
When the restaurant became quiet again, Lester tugged on his collar and said cautiously: "Mr. Jiang, let go first and let's talk."
"Talk?" Jiang Zhixian let go of his collar and gritted his teeth, "Let me ask you one thing, do you want to sell it or not?"
After hearing this, Lester's expression became very embarrassed.
He let out a long sigh and finally realized that Jiang Zhixian was not that easy to fool, so he had to explain the whole story carefully.
"Do you know that the eldest prince of your third galaxy empire, Qin Chengxu?"
Sure enough, Shen quietly stood aside, watching the two of them expressionlessly, feeling very vigilant in his heart.
Lester had no idea and continued: "There are only two lines in the arms business of the third galaxy, one is you and me, and the other is my cousin and the imperial family. The person who was originally in charge of the contact was a man named Maple Leaf. Mercenary group, but not long ago I heard that their boss was killed, and the empire has not sent out new people for a long time, so the business cannot continue."
"Why didn't you send someone over?" Jiang Zhixian asked
"This is the crux of the problem. His Majesty the King has always been in charge of arms in the empire, but I heard from the gossip that he was ill and the power fell into the hands of the eldest prince Qin Chengxu. But the person recommended by the institute was the third prince Qin Chengshang
, so the stalemate continued. In order to seize power, Qin Chengxu made generous moves and contacted my cousin earlier, but he did not want to be an enemy of your research institute, so he ignored Qin Chengxu. It just so happened that I had a batch prepared for you.
The goods were found out by him."
Lester looked at Jiang Zhixian's face carefully, fearing that he would get angry and beat him up.
Jiang Zhixian smiled softly, "Then you're going to sell my stuff?"
"You can't blame me." Lester said he felt aggrieved, "They gave too much..."
