Chapter 133 A delicious gift for Qianqian
"Welcome, friends from afar. The disappearance of the disaster and the arrival of friends are both blessings for the Soltz Empire." Emperor Roland smiled, and in just a few words he showed the magnanimity and humility of the empire.
The once vast interstellar space was divided into numerous political systems, but after countless games and battles, by the time of the Soltz Empire, only the Soltz Empire and the Dodo Federation remained.
Roland knew the importance of peace, so during his time in power he allowed the empire to recuperate and grow stronger.
Moreover, during the war in the Federation, they chose to help and support the people who fled to the Empire on starships without hesitation.
If it weren't for the disaster and the rampant Zerg, Roland originally planned to establish a transit station outside the empire to specifically help those federal refugees.
The wise and kind old man with blond hair stared at the greasy brown-haired man in the front, Rand behind him, and the people from the Federation behind him, and his expression changed subtly.
It seemed that Commander Leon had just woken up, and these people who were trying to get promoted were trying to challenge that man's bottom line.
"Your Majesty, I represent Commander Lyon," the greasy brown-haired man Aaron inadvertently revealed an expression of contempt and disdain when he mentioned Lyon's name, and even the tone of his voice became lighter, until he spoke later and the tone began to become serious.
"And Inspector General Rhodes expresses their sincerest gratitude for your welcome, and they thank you and the Soltz Empire for the assistance you have provided to our citizens."
Aaron deliberately emphasized the word "we", which made Theo raise his eyebrows slightly. He then quietly grabbed Qianzhi's hair and stroked it slowly with a smile.
Qianzhi smelled some tense emotions from the man next to her.
Before the Federation arrived, she caught up on some information from the Federation and understood Theo's anger.
In just two years, the Federation's heavy taxes, harsh public environment, gagged lives, strict hierarchical system from top to bottom, and laws that could endanger their lives at any time forced these people to flee the Federation.
However, these citizens who were clearly abandoned by the Federation and were almost blackmailed to death, were reborn under the care of the Empire, but they still had to be taken back by the Federation as nutrients.
What on earth do they intend to do with the people?
The country exists because of the people. Those in power who do not understand this will eventually be bitten back.
"--Because of your help, those people have gained freedom." Rand interrupted Aaron loudly, ignoring Aaron's angry and murderous eyes, and bowed to Emperor Roland.
Aaron stared at Rand with a venomous gaze, then turned his head again with a forced smile on the corner of his lips.
"Indeed. Furthermore, we have brought with us the Federation's latest technology and medical expertise on this visit. We hope to enhance understanding between us and your country and achieve mutual technological advancement."
His eyes glanced back, becoming somewhat contemptuous.
Only then did Qianzhi notice the man standing among the crowd of Federation people.
He was tall and thin, with raven-feather hair and snow-white skin, and looked a little weak and sickly.
As if he felt Qianzhi's gaze, he lifted his dark eyelids, glanced in the direction of the girl, and then lowered his head again.
Qianzhi sniffed again and tilted her little head.
Sure enough, unlike the people present, he was neither a sentinel nor a guide. He was just an ordinary person.
Just like boiled water, colorless and tasteless.
But it strangely aroused her interest.
The soft skin of her wrist was rubbed slightly by the snake next to her, and on the other side, Theo's fingertips gently stroked the back of her neck and hooked it lightly at her gland.
After the branding, the physical connection with the Sentinels is strengthened, especially the changes in the glands.
Any touch will evoke the body's most honest reaction.
This did make Qianzhi tremble sensitively, and also distracted her. She pulled her inquiring gaze back, panted lightly, and leaned her body back, indulging in Theo's caress and the snake's secret kiss that spread from her wrist to her arm and even her neck.
Theo touched Qianzhi's wet glands and smiled sweetly at her.
But the next moment after he disappeared from her sight, his face seemed to have changed, becoming extremely gloomy, and he stared at the man behind him sinisterly.
Although Qianzhi, as a guide, could only smell the pheromones on the sentinel, as a sentinel herself, she could of course feel the difference in that man.
He is an ordinary man, but he has a faint scent of tea on him. To the guide, it is like boiled water, warm and nourishing, simple but equally attractive.
For Qianzhi, who is used to eating all kinds of food that stimulates her taste buds, such a man would be particularly fresh to her. Even his appearance, which is slender, delicate and fragile, is as beautiful as theirs.
It was like a delicious gift that the Federation had deliberately selected for Qianzhi to taste.
Theo and Ian exchanged glances, and sure enough, they got the same answer from the Marshal's eyes. How could this not make them alert?
This meeting, which left everyone in a state of uncertainty, finally came to an end after a simple greeting.
Theo and the other admirals were going to have further discussions with Aaron and the others about the placement of the wreckage of the interstellar coordinate asteroid belt 3336, which is located on the border between the Empire and the Federation, while Qianzhi yawned and sneaked away from the onlookers' seats.
"The situation in the Federation is more treacherous than it was two years ago," Ming answered the girl's question as he took Qianzhi's hand and walked back from the garden path. "The Federation was originally led by Commander Leon, but two years ago, while returning from resolving a small-scale conflict on Planetary Belt 3588, he encountered a thunderstorm and was attacked by the local people. Fortunately, he survived, only falling into a brief coma. After his return, he seems to have disappeared, and the Inspector General has been acting as his deputy in external affairs."
"Rand's appearance this time shows that Lyon is regaining the right to speak, but is still at a disadvantage." Qianzhi said thoughtfully.
The position of the federal visitors is very telling.
but
"Arrogant and overconfident," Qianzhi concluded. "Lack of humility in dealing with the outside world. The consequences of blind self-confidence will inevitably lead to an outcome that does not meet their expectations."
"-Bingo!" There was a rustling sound in the leaves above their heads, and flower petals scattered and fell on Ming and Qianzhi.
The tall and strong man with orange hair jumped down as lightly as a cat, bowed to Qianzhi with a smile, stretched out his arm, plucked the petals from the ends of her hair, and winked at her.
"Chizhi is still as cool and calm as before. I love her so much!" Although he took off his pirate skin and put on the clothes of the commander's subordinate, Rand still looked as nonchalant and unruly as before.
"Get lost!" Ming, like before, regained his sharp tongue and gave a heartfelt "praise" to his former companion.
