Shen Que's expression was stern. "Did you catch that clothing merchant?"
"It's only an hour earlier than Pei Ji's men." Lu Ya said proudly.
"It seems you know he was a clothing merchant before. Then you should also know that he gave Pei Ji an old warehouse. I think it was somewhere... 33 Liulihua Street... I can't remember clearly at the moment."
Shen Que said in a deep voice: “What do you want to do?”
"Dance with me." Lu Ya repeated.
Shen Que took a deep breath.
He clenched his hands at his sides, then slowly released them.
After a while, he said, "Okay."
Lu Ya ignored the coldness in his words, laughed, and hung up the phone.
The microphone in my ear returned to silence.
Chen Que stared at the watery moonlight on the floor for a long time, then rubbed his eyes tiredly.
At the same time, inside the house, out of his sight, Pei Ji silently left the corner.
…
For the next two days, every afternoon at four o'clock, the Queen's guards would come on time to invite Shen Que to dinner.
On the first day, Shen Que was about to refuse, but Pei Ji said, "You should go."
There was not much emotion in his voice. He just said, "I finally came back." and went back to his room.
The guard was surprised and touched.
Before coming here today, the Queen had given him a death order. He thought he would have to suffer a lot from General Pei before he could ask Commander Shen to go back.
"I didn't expect General Pei to be so considerate." The guard sighed sincerely.
Shen Que stood by the door, watching Pei Ji's leaving back. The sunlight outside the door reflected in his eyes, illuminating the deep color.
——He has always been very nice.
Pei Ji met Jiang Jianyue and Donald twice again.
When we met for the second time, Wendy also came.
"So you guys also received the Queen's hint! That's great! I thought I was the only one left to shoulder the responsibility of saving the empire!"
Wenti was extremely happy.
In the past few months, she was ordered to collect the original liquid of primitive insect beasts every once in a while and hand it over to the School of Life Sciences for some unknown research.
"I thought the empire was going to have a zombie virus outbreak. I was so scared! If I become a zombie, I won't be able to eat delicious food."
"Your Majesty hates individual heroism the most. It is impossible for you to place the responsibility of saving the empire on one person." Jiang Jianyue said with a smile.
Before Carolina took office, the First Fleet had always been the highest-ranking of the Seven Fleets, with the other six fleets under its jurisdiction, while the First Fleet was in turn subject to the constraints of Parliament.
The first thing Carolina did when she took office was to reform. She raised the seven fleets to the same level, bypassing the parliament and having them directly commanded by the emperor.
It was not until the end of the Zerg tide that the parliament's voice in military affairs was gradually increased.
"Carolina is very powerful." Pei Ji said suddenly.
Jiang Jianyue glanced at him in surprise, "You actually admire her."
Pei Ji glanced back at her, "Why? In your eyes, is it normal for me to belittle her?"
He picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip nonchalantly.
"That's fine. She's stubborn, partial, overprotective, and has been in a high position for too long. She has a lot of bad habits."
Jiang Jianyue: "You'd better shut up."
The four continued to discuss solutions regarding chocolate.
Starnet was also not idle. Paparazzi were everywhere secretly taking pictures of the leaders in Messiah, and the topic of the league was also hotly discussed.
After two days, except for the commander of the Seventh Fleet Feng Shixu who had never appeared, the other six people had more or less leaked some "private photos".
The league's opening dinner soon arrived.
The entire imperial court was brightly lit.
All the nobles and council members in the upper city received invitations, and many lords of planets also came from afar. Airships landed at the Royal Star Port one after another.
Reporters who had obtained admission tickets had been waiting at the port for a long time, and the red carpet was filled with large and small filming equipment.
Pei Ji and Shen Que arrived at the main hall half an hour early.
The two wore the same custom-made dress tonight.
The loose sleeves and spindle-shaped knee-length cape bring some charm to the traditional costumes of Baishaxing, while the waist-hugging design and slim-fitting trousers in the lower body well integrate Messiah's modern style.
The main colors of Shen Que's clothes are still dark blue and white. The brooch and one side of the cloak are decorated with white feathers, which adds a touch of otherworldly temperament.
He wore a full set of moonstone jewelry, which hung from his eyebrows to his cufflinks, and a little moonstone hanging from his left ear. Combined with his clear and beautiful face, he looked noble and elegant, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
Pei Ji wore a dark black jacket with a red shirt, and only wore ruby collar buttons and cufflinks, which was simple and elegant.
Jiang Jianyue and Wen Ti were standing on the steps and saw them greeting from afar.
Pei Ji led Shen Que up the stairs.
"How gorgeous! Is this the style of Baisha Star?" Wenti's eyes lit up. "I like it!"
She wore a burgundy tuxedo dress tonight, short in front and long in the back, and a red rose accessory on her blonde hair.
Jiang Jianyue wore a fishtail skirt embellished with rhinestones. The texture was silky and delicate, revealing a large area of her back, showing off her perfect figure to the fullest.
"This is the first time I've seen you dressed so... eye-catchingly." Jiang Jianyue looked at Chen Que, her red lips curled up slightly, "I thought you would be a minimalist."
“It’s not the first time.” Shen Que took off the cloak and gave it to Pei Ji.
The latter took it skillfully and brought Shen Que to his side, avoiding the passers-by who kept stealing glances at him.
“Similar dresses are often worn on Baisha Star,” Shen Que said.
"I've heard of it!"
Wen Ti kept talking.
"The people of Baisha like to dress themselves up beautifully, and they match different pieces of jewelry with different clothes—but Commander Shen, haven't you ever changed your earrings?"
