I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

At this moment, on Planet M, in Manrati City.

Ling Qing sat in the main seat in the highest military conference hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Below him sat the leaders of the three major families.

Two days have passed since Qing and Shen Yi arrived at Planet M, but the old foxes from the three major families are either holding welcoming banquets or inspecting the people's sentiments, and they always avoid talking about the affairs of Planet M.

Ling Qing pushed his glasses up, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the three people sitting below: "Today, have you three arranged for me to appreciate the customs and folkways of your place?"

The three people below looked at each other, and one of them, a middle-aged man with a face full of fat, said with a smile: "Of course, of course, Adjutant Ling has come from afar and is tired from the journey, so we should show our hospitality to you."

The person who spoke was Ye Qin, the head of the Ye family. He was wearing a gray gown and a pair of retro round-frame glasses on his nose.

The eyes behind the lenses were small and thin, and when he smiled, the fat on his face squeezed them into a narrow slit.

During the two days that Ling Qing lived in Manladi City, this man always acted like a peacemaker, but in fact he was a famous smiling tiger in Andromeda.

"That's right, that's right..." The other two also echoed.

Ling Qing leaned back, his posture seemed a little casual, but the eyes behind the glasses revealed a hint of coldness.

"It seems that the three of you are not very concerned about the bandits who are about to break into the city." Ling Qing's tone was light and light, making it impossible to figure out his emotions.

"Don't we have you and the Seventh Army here?" Ye Qin took every opportunity to flatter him, and the other two immediately agreed, singing the same tune and coordinating with each other seamlessly.

If Shen Yi hadn't investigated the matter, Ling Qing would have suspected that their discord was just a rumor.

"Really? After these two days of observation, I feel that the three major families have a good way of governing Andromeda." Ling Qing smiled.

"No, no, it's all thanks to the good leadership of the empire." Ye Qin was busy being humble, the fat on his face trembling with his movements.

However, Ling Qing suddenly changed the subject and looked at Ye Qin meaningfully: "However, the Seventh Army happened to rescue a merchant ship that was attacked by alien beasts near the three main stars a few days ago."

"I am very curious, why did a strange beast attack occur near the main star, and why no one came to rescue for seven hours? I think City Lord Ye should be able to give me a satisfactory answer."

Hearing this, Ye Qin's face froze for a moment. He secretly glared at Xiao Li Ke Fei who was sitting opposite him, and a huge rage burned in his heart.

Ling Qing looked at his reaction and sneered in his heart, but before he could appreciate it enough, the people below regained their composure.

Ling Qing couldn't help but sigh, the Smiling Tiger is indeed a Smiling Tiger, even if he wanted to tear the person opposite him to pieces in his heart, he still acted impeccably on the surface.

Ye Qin looked sad and sighed deeply:

"Reporting to Adjutant Ling, to be honest, we have been tortured by those bandits in recent days and have suffered terribly. In order to protect the rare gold, all the defense forces of the Joint Defense Department have been sent to the mines, and even the guards in the main city have been reduced by one third."

"I'm deeply sorry about the merchant shipwreck, but I really can't spare the troops."

His face fell and the fat on his face drooped.

Ling Qing shifted his gaze and glanced at the other two people, who were both keeping silent tacitly at this moment.

Ling Qing retracted his gaze and smiled: "City Lord Ye, are you hinting that the empire's deployment is not favorable?"

"I dare not!" Ye Qin lowered his body quickly, cold sweat on his forehead, and he was deeply aware of Ling Qing's difficulty.

After leaving the other party alone for a while, Ling Qing put away his edge and smiled:

"Why do you have to be like this, City Lord Ye? Your loyalty to the empire is clear to all. Fortunately, although the merchant ship was severely damaged, there were no casualties. Currently, these merchants have also come to Planet M under the escort of our army. City Lord Ye does not need to blame himself too much."

Ye Qin was stunned. This result was beyond his expectations, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up, pretended to wipe the cold sweat from his head, then raised his voice slightly and said to Ling Qing:

"You are right. On behalf of those poor interstellar merchants, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you, Adjutant Ling, for your wisdom!"

When this news came out, the other two people who were watching the show could no longer sit still, and Sholy Kefei's face changed immediately.

Shorley Coffey: The head of the Coffey family, he is a somewhat skinny old man with a hooked nose, slightly deep eye sockets, and shoulder-length silver hair.

At this moment, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he tried his best to look as if it had nothing to do with him, but the pair of hands like dry wood placed under the table suddenly clenched, and a flash of murderous intent passed through the turbid pupils hidden by his eyelashes.

The three major families have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. Although the fight against the bandits allowed them to maintain superficial harmony, in fact, no one was willing to submit to the other in secret.

This merchant ship incident was a conspiracy designed by the Kefei family against the Ye family in order to deprive the Ye family of its leadership.

Since Andromeda is jointly managed by the three main stars, a system of rotation of power is implemented in Andromeda. This year it happens to be the Ye family's turn to be in power.

In the past two years, with the frequent occurrence of alien beast violence and chaos, the division of power in Andromeda has become increasingly severe. In addition to the three major families, some small planetary lords have also begun to join the competition.

If the three major families want to maintain their absolute interests, they must gain leadership. In this way, the long-standing checks and balances will be broken.

At this moment, the happiest person was Deka Kess. As the only woman present, she tried her best to maintain her outward reserve and dignity, but she couldn't help laughing wildly in her heart.

Deka Coss has seaweed blue curly hair, a standard oval face, big, bright eyes, and a small, delicate nose. She looks like a guest at a dance party, and even the details of her dress are very particular.

However, for Deka Cox's age, she seems a little too young.

Ling Qing calmly noted down the reactions of several people, and at this moment he felt a vibration on his wrist.

It was sent by Shen Yi, and the content only contained two words: Done.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ling Qing didn't want to play along with them any longer. He changed the subject and his tone suddenly became fierce:

"However, since the three of you feel that you are not strong enough to deal with the bandits, why not hand over the ownership of Planet M as soon as possible, so that the Empire can share the burden with you."

"I'm afraid..." Ye Qin looked embarrassed, but he was interrupted by Ling Qing before he could finish his words.

"City Lord Ye, I think you should be able to sort out the data on rare gold tomorrow morning!"

Ye Qin's face changed, but due to Ling Qing's identity, he could only grit his teeth and said, "I'll try my best."

"Okay, let's stop here for today. I'm sure you all will be very busy from now on." Ling Qing looked at the three people and began to order them to leave without changing his expression.

When they left, Ye Qin and Xiao Li Ke Fei both looked unhappy, and only Di Ka Ke Si fell behind them.

She smiled and performed a noble etiquette to Ling Qing, inviting him: "Prosperity never ends, the Dika family welcomes you."

Ling Qing looked at Deka Kes's back, tapping the table with his fingers, his expression gloomy.
