The guide is full of force

All the quarreling stopped instantly.

They looked at each other, and the leader of the council said, "Bring them in."

Lin Fu is the first time to enter the House of Councilors.

One of the power centers of the entire empire.

However, Cheng Jiu has always had the same attitude, it is the same for the Emperor of the Empire, and it is no different for the House of Assembly. He is casual, and his demeanor is full of not taking them seriously.

Lin Fu followed behind the two of them, silently.

The composition of the parliament house is very complicated, and at a glance, you can see many people from famous families with surnames.

After all, most of the parliament is still controlled by the nobles.

It is precisely because of this that they are particularly afraid of Karl, who was born in the Ryan family.

The head of the council was drooping. At the age of 60, he lived longer than most of the people here. He gave Carl a smile: "Why did Admiral Ryan and Major General Cheng come here suddenly?"

It was obvious that Lin Fu was standing beside them, but the chairman of the council didn't even look at him.

Carl looked serious and serious: "Of course it's about this kid. Since he's studying in the military academy and passed the selection of the reserve army, he's qualified to go to the battlefield."

The head of the council shifted his gaze to Cheng Jiu, and before he could ask, Cheng Jiu smiled cheerfully: "I think the same as Principal Carl. There is a famous saying that the sword of the previous dynasty will not kill the current officials. Change the law , can’t erase the existing qualifications? Mr. Councilor, don’t you think so?”

After he finished speaking, he felt tired from standing, so he called the guards: "Go and bring three chairs over here."

The guard looked at the chairman of the council at a loss, wondering whether he should listen or not.

The head of the council waved him off.

Cheng Jiuan sat down steadily, and pulled Lin Fu to sit down together, and pushed another chair to Carl: "Okay, let's talk, this matter is really not right, discuss it to a conclusion, in case the same thing happens again in the future Well, there is a way to deal with it, right?"

"You!" The younger council member couldn't bear Cheng Jiu's attitude, and suddenly stood up to scold him, but was pushed down by his companion.

Cheng Jiu was astonished by his actions: "Where did I say something wrong?"

"No, Major General Cheng is right." The head of the council trembled.

Lin Fu looked at the people in the conference room. Their attitude towards Cheng Jiu was curious, disgusting and frightening, and some people looked at him with evasive eyes.

He thought in his heart why he had these expressions.

Isn't Cheng Jiu from the Cheng family?

There are many nobles in the empire, but there are not many big families with names and surnames. Compared with them, the Lin family can be regarded as a second-rate noble at best.

The Cheng family is one of the big families, including the Harvey family and the Ryan family.

Among the members of the parliament, many of them came from one of these big families.

It stands to reason that they should know each other, and maybe many of them are Cheng Jiu's elders. It's normal to be afraid, so why be afraid?

He was a little distracted in his thoughts, and Cheng Jiu suddenly pinched the back of his neck: "What are you thinking? Are you scared?"

He only squeezed lightly, and when Lin Fu came back to his senses, he quickly let go, leaving him no time to react.

Lin Fu raised his head and asked with a sullen expression, "What?"

Only then did he realize that everyone's eyes were on him, and many people were not very satisfied.

Probably thinking, in such a serious atmosphere, in the face of so many big shots, Lin Fu dared to lose his mind, it is outrageous!

Cheng Jiu said with a smile in his voice, "The chairman of the council has doubts about your ability, and doesn't want you to repeat Cheng Su's tragedy. You can answer by yourself whether you have the ability."

Lin Fu caught a name in the middle of a lot of information, temporarily suppressed it in his heart, and returned: "President, please rest assured, I cherish my life very much. I will not do anything to kill my life in vain."

The chairman of the council rolled his cloudy eyes, his gaze was firmly fixed on his face, and his voice was as dry as his dry orange-skinned face: "I promise that anyone can do it. Before Cheng Su was torn into pieces, he also felt that he was going to die in vain. It’s about being a hero. Is it so easy to be a hero? You are a guide, and a guide has its own functions in society, why bother to go to the battlefield?”

"I heard that your mental strength has recovered, right? If that's the case, you can go to the rear of the battle line and do mental grooming for the sentry, which also meets your desire to go to the battlefield."

This suggestion is almost exactly the same as the path planned by the system for Lin Fu at first.

His expression was calm, without any hesitation or heartbeat: "You misunderstood me. I want to go to the front line, the front of the battlefield, where I fight the Zerg face to face, not the rear. There are countless capable guides, and I Their mental strength is only partially restored, and they can't reach their level at all, and there is no shortage of me in the rear."

The voice of the chairman of the council suddenly became louder: "There are more capable sentries on the front line, and there is no shortage of you!"

Lin Fu: "But there is a lack of guides on the front line."

His words seemed to touch a certain nerve, causing the chairman of the council to be furious!

Even other members of parliament were also in an uproar.

The council slapped the table angrily, and the loud bang shook the conference room in silence.

Cheng Jiu was also a little stunned, and then smiled softly: "You are right, there is a lack of guides on the front line. Why should the president of the council be so arrogant?"

Carl said in a deep voice, "After half a year, the fourth-grade student of the military academy will soon start the Desolate Star Arena. If there is any controversy, let him enter the Desolate Star with the fourth-grade sentinel. After half a year, he can complete the task and come out. He naturally has the ability to join the sentinel. Go to the front."

"—If you die in the deserted star——"

Lin Fu continued without hesitation: "Then die in the deserted star. I am not as skilled as others."

The chairman of the council didn't want Lin Fu, or let the guide go to the front line at all, but they really discussed a way to force them to agree.

This method is also ruthless enough.

The chairman of the council still didn't let go: "The Wild Star Arena is only open to fourth-year military students. He is a second-year student and has no qualifications..."

Cheng Jiu was a little impatient: "It is because he is not qualified and not as good as those fourth graders, so he can prove his ability better? Since he himself said that you don't need to be responsible for life and death, what is there to be dissatisfied with the chairman of the council?" ?”

The chairman of the council breathed out slowly, and gave the last condition: "I need to be recommended by the third family before I can agree."

Cheng Jiu counted lazily: "Okay, my family, Principal Carl's family, Lin's family, just right."

The chairman of the council stared at Cheng Jiu, as if he wanted to see clearly what he was thinking when he said this, but he couldn't see anything except a foolish smile.

"The Lin family is not on this list. You know the level of aristocratic family I require. Also, are you sure that the Cheng family will take care of him?"

Lin Fu rested his hands on his knees, listening to their tit-for-tat confrontation, and suddenly heard a notification from the system: [Host, Albert Harvey is running towards the conference room and is expected to arrive in two seconds...]

Lin Fu sat up straight suddenly and looked towards the door.

"I!" the blond man panted, supported his knees, and breathed heavily, "On behalf of the Harvey family, I support all decisions made by Lin Fu, and I will use my parliamentary seats to vote in favor of all his related decisions!"

Cheng Jiu smiled brightly: "Okay, three votes. Cheng's letter of recommendation will be sent to the chairman of the council tonight, so you don't need to worry."

No one expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear.

Lin Fu stood up, Albert leaned on the door frame to pant, and smiled at him profusely with sweat: "I'm exhausted, but I can catch up."

He was speechless for a while, and wanted to say thank you, but felt too light.

Thank you sometimes, is a kind of outsider.

After leaving the meeting room full of people, the four of them left together.

On the way, Albert heard that Lin Fu was going to participate in the Wild Star Competition, without hesitation: "I will go too."

Lin Fu frowned: "It's not that you don't want to go to the front line."

He licked his lips and lowered his voice: "I want to participate. You were right before."

Cheng Jiu squinted to see the two children huddling together, holding their arms together, so it was rare for them not to disturb them.

Sending him back to the military academy, he called Lin Fu before he got off the car: "I will stay in the capital during this period of time, and I will not leave until I finish dealing with some things. It is probably when you go to participate in the Wild Star Competition. If there are other You can come to me directly."

Although Cheng Jiu's mouth is disgusting, he is indeed good enough to Lin Fu, far from the level that he needed to pay back for saving him once.He smiled and waved his hands: "The realization of my greatest wish is close at hand, thank you for your help during this time."

"See you later when you have time."

He didn't say anything about repayment, and when he has the ability, he will naturally help.

Cheng Jiu saw him running briskly away and blending into the school with Albert, and for some reason suddenly felt a little unhappy.

I can't tell what it feels like, I just instinctively noticed this emotion, but I can't find the source of it.

It seemed that he was not satisfied with what the child said just now, or maybe he was offended by a group of old men among the council members.

His smile faded a little, and he turned back to the hover car and headed to Cheng's house.

Albert's return has been met with overwhelming welcome.

Everyone enthusiastically shared with him the feats of Lin Fu and Tang Qian in the school celebration, but it was a pity that the three of them had the best relationship back then, and if Albert was there, they might be able to go together.

Albert still smiled brightly, and clinked glasses with them one by one, no different from before.

Tang Qian couldn't hold back and drank two glasses with him, his face flushed, and he fell unconscious on the side.

Lin Fu sat in the corner, drank some, didn't quite fit his mouth, and put it aside casually, and no one dared to come up to persuade him to drink.

In the middle of the night at the party, a bunch of people were all drunk, and Albert was shaking and still raising his glass: "Oh, why are you all down? Drink!"

Lin Fu looked down at the time, called the suspension vehicle, and sent a message to Yan Yan asking him to help the master to pick him up at the school gate.

Fight out the drunken classmates one after another, set the route back to school, and finally get Tang Qian and Albert two.

When he went back, he suddenly found that Albert was holding the cup firmly with both hands, with his head down and silent.

There were blue veins floating on the back of his hand, and the cup was slightly deformed by him.

Lin Fu pursed his lips, patted his back, and said in a low voice, "Can I still go?"

The young man raised his head, looked at Lin Fu with red eyes, and moved his lips helplessly: "Lin Fu, I don't have a father and brother anymore."

His shoulders trembled, his brilliant hair was covered with haze, and he watched Lin Fu's big tears rolling down: "When I entered the military academy, they were still fine, but after half a year, they disappeared."

He hugged Lin Fu tightly and wailed loudly, venting all the pain, discomfort, and torment he had suffered in the past few months.No one knew how he felt when he saw two unrecognizable corpses when he went back.

He is a little son who was pampered and grew up. He has all the pampering, and his father and elder brother have assumed all his responsibilities, giving him the space to act recklessly.

But now there is nothing left, the two people who loved him the most died on the battlefield.

He clenched Lin Fu's shoulders, crying like a child, tearing up, his image and patience were all forgotten, and he just wanted to vent unscrupulously.

He couldn't cry in front of his mother and sister, because they would be sad, and he couldn't cry in front of outsiders, because he would be seen as weak, showing cowardice, and would make their pack of wolves stare at the Harvey family.

The only thing he can vent is that he dares to shed tears and say that he is in pain when everyone leaves after he is drunk and only his most trusted friends are left.

Lin Fu sat on the spot, held by him, thinking of the comrades who died on the battlefield.

War has always been like this, and there is no mercy.

But for the people after the war, it will be worth it.

The next day Albert knocked on Lin Fu's door with two walnut eyes, and got a blank stare from Lin Fu who didn't have enough sleep to open the door.

He laughed: "Forget it."

No training today.

Lin Fu went to wash up, and when he came out, he threw a bottle of spray to him: "Reduce the swelling of the eyes."

Albert took it happily, completely without the shame and embarrassment after crying while hugging Lin Fu yesterday, closed his eyes and sprayed it on himself, rubbed his eyes and almost recovered.

"I came here today to tell you something about Major General Cheng."

I was going to say it last time, but something happened.

Lin Fu responded: "Yes."

After thinking about it, I opened the door to place an order for the delivery robot and asked for something.

Albert said: "Do you know the relationship between Major General Cheng and the Cheng family?"

Lin Fu: "The Cheng family is a nobleman, and he is the son of the head of the family?"

Albert perfected his remarks: "To be precise, he is a descendant of the Cheng family and the Qi family, and his mother is from the Qi family."

Lin Fu's movement of holding the water cup paused slightly: "The Qi family?"

Albert nodded.

The Qi family is one of the first-class families.

But not every first-class family will settle in the imperial capital, such as the Qi family.

What surprised Lin Fu was that the Qi family broke openly with the Cheng family, and it was because of the Cheng family that they moved away from the imperial capital and moved to a secondary planet.

Who is the wife of the head of the Cheng family? It is difficult for those with lower status to know, because it has never been made public.

Probably only people from first-rate families know about it.

Lin Fu frowned: "False break?"

Albert immediately shook his head: "This is the reason I want to tell you. They are not a false breakup, but a real hostility. After Aunt Qi gave birth to Cheng Jiu, she became seriously ill because of the relationship between the two families and refused to treat her. Cheng Jiu died before the age of ten. And Cheng Jiu was not welcomed by the Cheng family because of the Qi family. Even though he was the child of the head of the family and had reached the S rank, he could not avoid it. Once his mother died, he was sent to the Cheng family. Go to a remote star and ignore it for more than ten years.”

This behavior is tantamount to exile.

What's more, Cheng Jiu was still a child at that time.

Lin Fu frowned straightly: "He is reconciled with the Cheng family now?"

Albert hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slowly: "I don't think so. My mother said that sooner or later Cheng Jiu would blow up the Cheng family."

Lin Fu remembered what the chairman of the parliament asked Cheng Jiu in the parliament yesterday.

Albert said: "I want to tell you that Major General Cheng is involved in a lot. The Cheng family hates him, and the Qi family doesn't care about him. Behind him stands the Ninth Army. At his age, no matter how powerful others are, they are at most at the level of a colonel." , he is the only one who climbed to the position of general, it is hard to say whether there are other forces that are not on the surface, you have to be careful."

It's best not to get involved.

But Cheng Jiu helped Lin Fu a lot. According to Lin Fu's character, it is impossible to draw a clear line for such things.

Lin Fu nodded.

He didn't think that there would be any involvement. Those who should be involved had already noticed him.

He was thinking about the letter of recommendation that Cheng Jiu agreed to.

The Cheng family needs to agree, but their actual relationship is not harmonious, and they probably have to agree to something before they can get it.

So he owed Cheng Jiu a lot more than he originally thought.

"Okay, I know about Cheng Jiu. What about yours?"

Albert was silent for a moment.

The doorbell rang, and Lin Fu went out to take back what he wanted, and shouted: "There are still outside, you go and carry them in."

When Albert went out, he saw the pots, pans, knives, forks and shovels delivered by the robot.

He hugged it back dumbfounded: "What do you want these things for? Can the stuff made from these things be eaten?"

Lin Fu was already checking the dishes and seasonings he wanted.

It’s a bit expensive. The interstellar era is too developed, and the pace is greatly accelerated. The pursuit of food and drink is all on the nutrient solution, and the number of people who can cook is greatly reduced. Basically, they have to go to restaurants to eat.

Fortunately, there are still things.

Albert, as a nobleman, of course has eaten real food. What surprised him was that Lin Fu could cook it.

Lin Fu threw a bag of vegetables into his arms: "Pick off the leaves and leave only the stalks. Continue talking."

Albert caught it in a hurry: "Oh."

He thought about it and said, "Call Tang Qian over."

Albert decided to work hard to save Tang Qian from being poisoned: "Isn't he in class now?"

Lin Fu: "What's the impact of raising a festival?"

Albert was dying for his brother: "The teacher will scold him..."

Lin Fu: "It's just a scolding. Have you received less scolding before? It's not too much."

Albert: "..."

He tried, really, bro, don't blame him.

Albert called Tang Qian, picked vegetables clumsily, and explained: "Mom said that she and sister can't take charge of Harvey's house in the open, and they can only help me watch it in my name, otherwise other people will take care of them because they are guides." attack them."

Lin Fu: "Yes."

Albert paused, and then said: "Mom also said that my father and brother died on the battlefield because of being assassinated."

Lin Fu agreed: "Your mother is right. It's a coincidence that two people, who are clearly on different fronts, have accidents at the same time."

Albert said in a low voice: "I know. I guess, uncle did it."

This time it was Lin Fu's turn to be surprised: "How are you sure?"

Albert threw the vegetable stalks into the basin, and said calmly: "He wants to grab the family property, and it's not a day or two to occupy the position of the head of the family. Even though my mother and sister said that he is a fool and has no guts, he killed me at the same time." Father and brother, who else dares to do such an obviously flawed thing, besides his idiot? As for the others, they are helping him behind his back."

Speaking of these things, his voice seemed to suddenly lack the innocence of a young man, and he said in a deep voice, "What you said to me before is very true. As the heir of the Harvey family, I just want to avoid it. It's useless. I can only think that way because someone else carried it for me, and now I have to carry it for someone else."

Speaking of this, he seemed like a child who had finished his rhetoric, and suddenly said shyly and dejectedly: "Actually, my mother and sister followed me to carry it. I'm not that good at all."

Lin Fu: "You will be so powerful in the future."

I haven't seen each other for half a year, and the two chatted with each other about what happened in the middle, and a meal was also formed in Lin Fu's hands.

Albert walked around the table and the kitchen dumbfounded: "Fuck, why didn't I know you still have this skill? Did you learn it secretly without telling me these few months?"

Tang Qian finally arrived, standing profusely at the door, and was dragged in by Albert: "Are you saying he's plausible!? He can cook without telling the two of us!! No, I haven't been here for so long, are you? have eaten?"

He had a look of grief and indignation of being abandoned.

Lin Fu tugged at the chair: "Get over here and eat!"

Albert cried and went over to take the bowl and chopsticks.

Tang Qian was also very surprised, and even more surprised after taking a bite: "I just found out, too."

It tastes surprisingly good!

Lin Fu feels that he is performing normally, but he misses having a normal meal after a long absence.

After a meal, the two went to wash the pot and wash the dishes.

Tang Qian knew that both of them planned to participate in the Wild Star Competition, and frowned: "Can I participate?"

Lin Fu shook his head: "You can't participate."

Tang Qian pursed her lips and said in frustration, "Why?"

Lin Fu said: "Not for the time being. Train hard for the past six months, and when the time comes, you will know."

Rushing to participate now will only take unnecessary energy.

Lin Fu didn't believe that those old men who were members of the parliament just recognized it like this, and wouldn't engage in other saucy operations.

Cheng family.

Cheng Jiu has been in the imperial capital for so long, but he has not entered the gate of Cheng Cheng's house once.

He parked the hover car at the gate and leaned against the door with one hand.

The gate was not opened, and he was not within the range of people who had permission to pass through. The artificial intelligence of the gate transferred to the guest to call the butler.

After a while, the steward ran out in a hurry: "Master, why are you back? You didn't say a word, I made you wait outside for so long, go in quickly!"

Cheng Jiu greeted with a smile: "Hey, Uncle Zhou, long time no see."

Uncle Zhou looked at him and sighed: "It's been a long time, it's been too long, you haven't come back for two years, you have been on the front line before, and you have finally returned to the Imperial Star recently, and you haven't come back to see it, I thought you Not coming back."

Cheng Jiu: "Then how can it be, this is my home."

Uncle Zhou nodded: "Yes, go in quickly, I'll have someone park the car for you."

Cheng Jiu pressed the car door with a smile: "No, I'll leave in a while. Is the owner there?"

Uncle Zhou anxiously said: "That's your father, what kind of patriarch are you calling! Besides, you just came back and won't stay for two more days, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Cheng Jiu didn't explain, this reaction explained it.

He entered the gate with a smile, and a small ball flew towards his forehead not far away.

He caught it casually, squinted his eyes and looked at his little boy who was running not far away, angrily.

The little brat scolded him: "Bad guy! Garbage! Get out of my house!"

Cheng Jiu bent his eyes and kept his expression unchanged. He threw the ball back and the child sat on the ground, crying loudly.

A middle-aged man strode towards Cheng Jiu after hearing the sound, helped the child up, and then looked at Cheng Jiu: "What are you doing back?"
