contractual marriage

Sol’s space vehicle was stopped while flying over the second gateway, followed by an investigation order from the Gendarmerie. From the beginning of the establishment of the Federation, the Gendarmerie existed to restrain the military. Soldiers violated federal discipline, and members of the gendarmerie have the right to conduct investigations and interrogations. For the people in the military department, the gendarmerie is an extremely disgusting existence, and no one likes to have a switch knife hanging around their necks every day , so there are many estrangements and conflicts between the two units in private, but once the gendarmerie shows an arrest warrant, the military has no right to resist.

According to the rules, Sol was taken to the interrogation room under the jurisdiction of the Gendarmerie, but for an entire hour, no one came to interrogate him, not even a holographic projection appeared. He didn't open his mouth anywhere, nor did he make any unnecessary inquiries, so those who wanted to see his jokes were caught in the air.

Three hours later, the soldiers who participated in Operation Defarran had already set off, but Sol was still in the interrogation room. A white photon lamp was placed on the empty table, illuminating the entire room to be empty and quiet, and it was suffocatingly closed. Feelings can make any impatient person irritable, but Sol still maintains the original posture. He doesn't seem to have moved, and there is no wave in his eyes.

The door of the interrogation room finally opened, and it was none other than Sol's uncle Gordon Lan who came in.

There was no surprise on Saul's face. He looked up at Gordon until the other party pulled out a chair and sat opposite him.

The two of them didn't speak, they just watched each other quietly, but there was an undercurrent surging under the calmness.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Gorton clasped his hands and put them on the table.

"I want to know why you asked someone to bring me here." Sol wasn't completely unsurprised when Gordon Lang entered the interrogation room. People just found out.

"How do you know that I was the one who brought you here? This is the place of the gendarmerie. You should know that the gendarmerie and the military have always been at odds." Of course, there is no reason to be ordered by him, no one should It is suspected that people from the Lan family deliberately brought Sol here, because there are witnesses for all the crimes that Sol was accused of, and if he is accidentally convicted, he will be removed from the army, so what about the Lan family? Will do such a detrimental thing.

It was because of this that Saul wanted to know the reason even more. He said, "The gendarmerie will not deliberately hang people here for hours without asking questions. This level of oppression is not for a qualified soldier. It’s nothing, the gendarmerie’s means should be far more than that. And I saw you here, this is the best answer.”

People from the military department must never intervene in the review of the gendarmerie. The two should be natural enemies. The Federation has been secretly creating conflicts between the two for many years in order to prevent each other from covering each other. If it wasn't for Lan The people at home arranged all this, and he would not see Gordon Lang here.

Saul continued: "You made me miss the actions of the military department. I need a reasonable reason. I am an adult and have the right to know everything about myself. You should not hide it from me."

Gordon Lan laughed, "For you, you are a soldier first, and then a member of the Lan family, but for me, I am a member of the Lan family, and the second is a soldier. For the sake of the Lan family Inheritance and continuation, I cannot let you participate in this operation of Di Falan. You are Ge Ling's only son, she has been missing for so many years, and the future of the entire Lan family rests on you, I cannot let you have an accident."

"Grandpa agrees with you to do this too?"

"Yes."

Gorton's answer did not exceed Sol's expectations. Without the consent of the head of the Lan family, his uncle did not dare to make such a decision without authorization.

"This reason is not perfect." He looked at Gorton quietly with deep eyes, "The danger level of the Defaran operation has not reached S. If it is a task of this level, you don't have to stop me from participating, and Grandpa I also hate deserters on the battlefield the most, and your reasons are not convincing. Uncle, I don’t like going around in circles.” The implication is that it’s best to tell the truth, his patience is not as good as it seems on the surface.

Gordon shook his head, "You'd better not know about this matter, it won't do you any good. I spent a lot of effort to get you out of this operation." Gordon eased his voice, not when it was a last resort He didn't want to use members of the gendarmerie. Once used, this pawn would be destroyed if it was exposed, and it would be very difficult to install people in the gendarmerie afterwards. "We're doing all this for your own good."

Sol closed his eyes, and opened them slowly after a while, "What is the danger level of the Defaran operation? This question is not beyond the scope of the answer."

Gordon pondered for a while, and finally replied: "I can only say that this operation is full of variables, and no one knows what the outcome will be."

Saul lowered his eyes. "I see. When can I go out?" he continued.

Gorton was stunned for a moment, he was surprised by Sol's acceptance speed, after another thought, it would be best for him not to be obsessed with Defaran's operation, so he glanced at his watch, "You can leave in four hours, The gendarmerie will dismiss the accusation against you as inconsistent with the facts.” In order to make Saul’s detention more real, they announced that he was arrested by the gendarmerie after returning home, and he stayed here for eight hours. That makes sense.

After staying for eight hours, Sol left the detention center of the Gendarmerie, while Qiao Mo's Second Fleet had already gone through a space jump to Kandar, the fringe planet of the Federation. They decided to rest here for two hours. Ship activities also replenish some energy.

Kandar is different from many fringe planets. As the central station of the Federation leading to outer galaxies, many spaceships and starships will choose to park here to recharge, and Kandar’s port is also one of the three famous ports of the Federation, which can accommodate thousands of ships. Starships were moored at the same time, and merchants traveling to and from various galaxies often unloaded some of their goods here for exchange. Over time, Kandar's port trade became extremely prosperous. Starships, although they only have two hours, it's okay to have a little activity.

There is a big commodity market near the port of Kandal, and this day happens to be the trading day of Kandal, so there are a lot of people who set up stalls or visit the market, Tie Moer excitedly pulled Zhang Wen and Qiao Mo rushed into the crowd.

"Hey, sir, why don't they come down? There are only a few places on the starship, and it's hard to let the wind out without slipping around. We have passed Kandar so many times and this is the first time we have the opportunity to come. It’s not easy to go shopping, it’s really interesting here.” Tie Moer looked around and kept talking, “That Jon Dongfang is not bad, at least he knows how to let us take a break, unlike his younger brother , with an arrogant face and a half-smile, it looks like he hates it to death."

Qiao Mo raised his eyebrows, "Sith and the others have been practicing since they got on the ship, and they are resting at this time, so there is no need to come down." As for the second half of Tie Moer's words, Qiao Mo chose to ignore them.

"Yeah, I know, let's just go shopping and bring them something interesting when we see it."

Qiao Mo glanced at Zhang Wen, then smiled and said, "Go shopping, I'll walk around here, don't go too far, we'll meet up in two hours."

Zhang Wen nodded, pulled Tie Moer away, and quickly disappeared into the crowd, and Qiao Mo also started to wander around the stalls casually.

Kandal’s stall is very distinctive, the items sold are scattered, and there are always some high-quality goods mixed in a pile of seemingly useless items. The test is the vision and luck of the picker. Qiao Mo actually chose it while walking. A lot of interesting little things, a small inflatable bag, and a face-changing mask.

Inflatable bags are already outdated in the Federation. Many years ago, when the safety measures of space vehicles were not so perfect, air bags were a necessary life-saving device, but now, both space vehicles and spaceships are equipped with Very complete protection measures, once in danger, it will automatically generate protection. Naturally, this kind of inflatable bag that ejects people is unnecessary. However, the Seryas in the Hidaya galaxy like this kind of inflatable bag very much. The inflatable bag is used as a children's toy, because its strong material will not rot no matter how much it is ravaged, so Qiao Mo bought this little thing for the price of a toy car.

As for the face-changing mask, it’s another little thing. This thing is similar to the face-changing mask in many novels. It can change some features of the face, but it can only be used once, which is a prop for fun during Halloween. Qiao Mo saw that the one in his hand looked good, so he bought it. As for the future use, he didn't think too much about it. Besides, he also picked out a lot of other scattered things, all of which were interesting gadgets. .

Picking things like this in a big wave reminds Qiao Mo of the experience of digging through the "baby" in the garbage dump of the Exile Star. At that time, he could be happy all day if he could find something that could be sold for money, because then his mother would not have to worry about it. Hard work, even the little guy JJ was accidentally picked up by him in the garbage dump. It was the most successful choice in his life. Without JJ, he would not be able to wait for Darla alive on the Exile Star.

Qiao Mo felt that he was almost done. Just as he was about to contact Tie Moer and Zhang Wen to go back together, he was tripped by people rushing forward from behind, and was rushed to the front, but the noisy voice from the crowd stopped him in his tracks. .

The people around were chattering, "What's going on inside? Why is the boss holding on to that young man? Could it be that he stole something from the boss? It doesn't look like that." , how can you be a thief if you look so good?"

The person next to him said: "I heard that the boss is charging energy, but when I asked him to take out his ID card to pay the bill, he said he lost it. I think it is deliberately trying to blackmail the boss' energy. There are everyone these days, no matter how tall they are. Good-looking is also a thief."

"Could it be that he was really stolen? Seeing his aggrieved appearance, he doesn't look like a lie."

"What grievances? That's hypocrisy. Liars know how to do that." The man retorted dissatisfied.

Another person shook his head, "I don't think so. That man might be really a fool. Didn't you see him telling people that he came to find his wife? How can anyone shout that his wife is missing in public? Isn't it embarrassing?"

"That's right, how can ordinary people lose their ID cards? It's hard to move even if you lose that thing. He seems to have some mental problems. Look, look, look, he's here."

Qiao Mo listened to these people talking, shook his head, and was about to turn around, but the people in the crowd shouted, "Wife!" and rushed straight towards him.

The person who was held by the boss seemed to suddenly gain strength, shouted excitedly, and quickly tore away the not weak boss, rushed over and grabbed Qiao Mo's sleeve, "Woo, I finally found you .”

There was a "wow" in the crowd, and the voice of discussion suddenly became louder, especially the few people standing next to Qiao Mo looked at him with gossip expressions.

The crook had caught an officer!Liars are really courageous these days.

Qiao Mo looked at Sol with a dirty face, and was speechless for a while, knowing which personality it was without saying anything. "Why are you here?" This is Kandal. Sol was not taken away by the gendarmerie for investigation, how could he catch up with them in such a short time.

Sol didn't say anything, but just tugged at Qiao Mo's sleeve, "Well, Momo, don't want me, I'll be good." He hugged Qiao Mo, and was pulled away by Qiao Mo again, this kind of kindness anytime, anywhere How did you develop the habit of jumping on people?

The boss glanced at Qiao Mo suspiciously. Seeing the military uniform on his body, he was finally relieved and said, "Sir, do you know this liar?"

"I'm not a liar! My ID card was just stolen. I put it in my bag and it just disappeared." Sol immediately retorted.

The boss ignored him and just asked Qiao Mo, "If you know him, can you pay for the energy? We are a small business, and we don't earn much. He charged so much energy all at once but didn't pay for it." How can money do this!" At first, this guy was good-looking, but he didn't think that his intelligence was not enough, but who knew that he was in bad luck.

"I said I would pay." Saul was dissatisfied, how could he let Momo pay for him, he should pay for Momo.

The boss was not afraid of him. He gave him a glare and continued, "If you are this little brother's friend, you can pay the bill for him. I have charged him with energy, but I can't get it out."

"He's not my friend, Momo is my wife." Sol slowly got angry.

"Shut up." Qiao Mo glared at him, took out his ID card, "I'll pay for him." Qiao Mo didn't bother to refute Saul's words, and it was useless to say that he and Saul had nothing to do in public, but it seemed to be trying to cover up, anyway. I'm leaving here in a while.

Qiao Mo didn't refute. The crowd including the boss really thought that Qiao Mo and Saul were in a relationship. The young man's clamor to find a wife turned out to be true, and his wife was a very good-looking officer!

The boss was finally satisfied. He took Qiao Mo's ID card to pay the bill, and returned the card to Qiao Mo. By the way, he glanced at the young man who was tugging at the officer's sleeve, and thought to himself, there are really all kinds of partners these days. Is it fun to develop?

After paying the bill and parking the spaceship at the port, Qiao Mo finally had a chance to talk to Sol alone.

He stopped Sol's movement of rushing over, frowned and said, "Speak up! How did you get here?"

Saul looked at him aggrievedly, "They didn't let me come, and they locked me up. After I was released, I drove away the best spaceship in the family. I jumped three times before I got here. When I was in the port, the spaceship The ship has no energy, so I can only stop here to recharge."

Qiao Mo's voice suddenly turned cold, "Jump three times? Are you dying?" Even the best spaceship cannot jump continuously in a short period of time. Torn to shreds.

Saul glanced at him and lowered his head silently, "I don't want to be separated from you. They said that it would be dangerous for you to go out this time. I will protect you and not let you face it alone."

Qiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and a strange and complicated feeling suddenly surged in his heart, but his tone involuntarily slowed down, "You can't do this next time." He stretched out his hand to touch Sol's head, hesitated, and then slowly put it down. .

As soon as Sol's eyes lit up, he immediately grabbed his hand and put it on his cheek, and looked at Qiao Mo as if asking for credit, "Momo, kiss, please, whoever you like should kiss."

Qiao Mo knocked him on the head without hesitation.
