contractual marriage

Qiao Mo handed one of the masks prepared in advance to Saul. These days they appeared in the federal news too frequently, and he couldn't guarantee that anyone in the exile star would be interested in these. Xing came for an unannounced visit, so it was impossible to expose his identity in a blatant manner and cause more incidents.

"It really doesn't matter if you wear this?" Sol shook the metal half mask on his hand. This thing is a bit like an ornament at a masquerade party. Wouldn't it be more conspicuous to wear it on the face?

Qiao Mo shook his head, "There are too many people who are inconvenient to reveal their identities on the Exile Planet. When you go to the Trading Street, the streets are full of people wearing this kind of mask. The locals of the planet will not wear this. Those who have been dealing with people for a long time We all know each other, and people from Exile Star will mark their hands when they become adults, they are proud of their identities, and it doesn't matter whether they wear a mask or not with the mark." When Qiao Mo said this, his tone was Indifferently, he continued: "Of course, there are also children who are marked by adults very early, but in that case, when neither the adults nor the children can survive, they have to mark the children early and seek The shelter of others." Not everyone is willing to live on this dark and chaotic planet for the rest of their lives. Those who are addicted to darkness are naturally proud of it, but those who yearn for the light are not willing to give up their last hope unless they have to. The practice of marking only when they are adults, if there are children who can go out from here, they don't have to be bound by the status of residents of the exile star.

"The mark of the Exile Star was imprinted by Ling Guang. It is like being tortured when you mark it. It is difficult for outsiders to imitate it. Those who are unwilling to reveal their identities choose this mask in your hand." Qiao Mo pointed The black mask in Sol's hand is trimmed with gold, "As for the followers, they will choose this." He shook the silver-gray mask in his hand, "It's also easy to distinguish... identities."

"Are you going to pretend to be my follower this time?" Saul smiled.

"Just the time before I repaid you." Qiao Mo smiled, "The Exile Star is a very strange place, very inclusive but also very exclusive, here you can find any black business, but you also need to abide by their rules. According to the rules, people in exile stars are very repulsive to same-sex couples, so we'd better not act as partners, because the goal is too obvious. Although exile stars are classified as a federation in name, in fact, no one here follows Savior's matching, they Free to choose a partner, advocating the union of a man and a woman, even if there is no child..." Qiao Mo emphasized his tone, "People here have a popular concept that only a man who is willing to degenerate will be another man's accessory."

"Isn't Exile Star a fallen city?"

Qiao Mo smiled, "Of course it is, so the auction house on Red Street provides beautiful male slaves all year round." Qiao Mo spread his hands, "Although they despise this kind of behavior, they have never stopped such transactions."

"Shameless and despicable." Saul made a pertinent evaluation.

"Who says no." Qiao Mo smiled.

Saul stared at him, "You have lived here for a few years, do you feel..."

Qiao Mo raised his eyebrows, "You mean to be assimilated by the ideas here? Of course not. After all, I was born in the Federation, wasn't I? If I really agreed with this idea, I wouldn't choose to be your partner, even if it was a passive choice. " Qiao Mo shrugged his shoulders, "And there is no such thing as an accessory between partners." No matter how powerful a person is, he has no obligation to always be another person's umbrella. Being strong and willing to give is not a reason to spend recklessly. , a real partner is to do everything in his power to protect each other.

Sol stood beside him, as if promising, and said lightly: "There will always be fairness between us."

Seeing his upright expression, Qiao Mo suddenly felt teased, raised his eyebrows and said, "On the bed too?"

The two reached a consensus and decided to go through the trading street in the third east district and go straight to the fringe area. The more lively the place, the less likely it is to attract the attention of others. It is much more reliable than going back to the former residence swaggeringly.

"To be honest, if I didn't have this mask, I'm afraid it would be a bit troublesome for me to come back this time."

Sol put on a willing expression.

Qiao Mo smiled and sighed, "I did a lot of things to eat and live here, otherwise, how could I find a house that can cover my head in a remote area. The territory of the Exile Star was all fought over. I can only sleep on the street without using some means. Even if I can, my mother can't. It's just that if I do too much of some things, it will hinder the interests of others. Over time, they will not let me go. I can only act first.”

Being prepared and being unprepared to deal with people are two different things. "At that time, I was young, a little impulsive, and I didn't know how to measure. Before arriving at Exile Star, the bosses in the third east district are already preparing to deal with me." Qiao Mo narrowed his eyes, "I just don't know if he still remembers after so many years..."

Sol could tell from Qiao Mo's expression that what he did back then was far more than what he said, and it would make the bosses in the first district of the Exile star afraid. What did he do back then?Even if he wiped out all his opponents, it wouldn't make the bosses in the first district pay so much attention.

Qiao Mo saw his question and didn't intend to hide it, "It's just cutting the weeds and rooting out the roots." Qiao Mo's expression was flat, and he was also testing Sol's attitude. He knew that Sol's upright military mentality might not accept some of his actions. , but since the two of them have already decided to go forward together, some things have to be put on the surface. Instead of letting him find out that he has a grievance in the future, it is better to spread those things in front of him now.

"This is the law of survival of the exile star." Qiao Mo said meaningfully, "It's just that I was too young when I realized it, and the bold old man in the third east district was even younger... Maybe I was frightened, so I planned to kill me .” Qiao Mo tilted his head slightly, feeling quite amusing.

Saul was silent. Qiao Mo was only in his teens when he left Exile Star. According to him, he had laid the foundation in the East Third District before that. He would only be younger when he did those things. Exile Star, with his ability and character, the boss of the East Third District may have been replaced many years ago. The boss of Exile Star is not an ordinary person. He just saw Qiao Mo's threat early on, so he decided to Going to do it, no matter how lame his reasons are.

Sol began to rejoice that if Lieutenant Colonel Dala hadn't found Qiao Mo on the Exile Star, he doesn't know what he would be like now.He should have thought a long time ago that Qiao Mo, who was able to subdue the Silver Wolf group, could not be a kind person. It's just that the training at the Cersei Military Academy made Qiao Mo wear an extra coat, and Qiao Mo had already started talking in front of him. Putting on some disguise, Sol noticed the meaning, but his heart fluctuated.

Sol did not express dissatisfaction or disapproval silently as Qiao Mo wanted, but instead showed a surge of emotion, which surprised Qiao Mo. Even if Sol still had a paralyzed face, the meaning in his eyes Qiao Mo He will never admit his mistake... This seems to be different from what he expected...

"Let's not talk about this for now. Put on your mask. After so many years, I don't know if that house is still there." Qiao Mo glanced at Sol.

"You'll know when you go." Saul followed his words and put the mask on his face.

Qiao Mo and Saul blended into the crowd in a low-key manner, but Saul's demeanor could not be kept low-key, but at least he was not the kind of upright and awe-inspiring soldier.Song Lanzhou's skills are still somewhat useful. As Sol and Qiao Mo, they will inevitably go out in disguise in the future, so they worked hard and learned some of Song Lanzhou's housekeeping skills at a considerable price. With certain skills and their own subjective changes, the disguised identity is not so easy to be dismantled.

To make a good disguise, changing your temperament is the most important thing, because even if you have the same appearance and different temperament, you will feel completely different, but the reason why people's temperament is called temperament is because it is not so easy to change. Therefore, if you want to change it, the best way is not to pretend to be someone who is completely opposite to yourself, but to blur your temperament, make a slight change on your original basis, and produce a more wonderful chemical reaction, making it difficult for people to distinguish.

Just like now, Sol's aura is still there, but he is not so eye-catching as a soldier. Instead, he is more tyrannical. Instead, let go of your aura. Anyway, Sol's special temperament can't be concealed, so there is no need to try to hide it, which will only arouse suspicion.

Qiao Mo folded his arms and observed Sol, "There are some things in common. Now I don't believe that you are an officer from the regular army. You are somewhat like Silver Wolf." Silver Wolf's people are not his. ?

Qiao Mo laughed because of his sudden association, and tried hard to get rid of the weird thoughts in his head.

Sol just raised his eyebrows and chose an extremely precise adjective, "A family of military bandits."

He can see it.

Sure enough, although the appearance of Sol and Qiao Mo attracted the attention of many people, they did not cause any trouble. Judging from their appearance, you can tell that these two people are not easy to provoke. I am afraid that some big boss from somewhere came with his entourage The exile star is swaying, there are many planets under the federation, and the control of some remote small planet federations is far inferior to the consuls stationed there. Sometimes, those consuls are no different from the emperor of a country. Thor is mixed It is easy for people to associate with the imposing manner, and coupled with Qiao Mo deliberately misleading beside him, many people guessed that the identities of the two people who had just entered the East Third District were probably half black and half white. It's not surprising that they are looking for fun and some business. After all, they receive such customers every year that there are too many to enumerate. Maybe they can open up some new customer channels.

Of course, these are the thoughts of the gangsters in the East Third District. They always keep an eye on every new face who enters the East Third District. The gate is so big that people coming and going are stared at by them. So these gangsters are also one of the most well-informed favors in the third east district.

"Those gangsters will conduct various sales after collecting information. This is also their means of survival. Don't look at them as low-level characters. The big bosses in each district of the Exile Star have a very close relationship with them, and even some gangsters It is specially for those big bosses." Qiao Mo explained.

"Those bigwigs should have their own sources."

"Yes, but they also need some other news, and these people have the best news." Qiao Mo whispered in Saul's ear.

"You're saying that these people are actually centrists who can serve anyone who needs information, just money."

Qiao Mo nodded, "Professional in selling news, but some of them have a certain tendency, even if they are gangsters, they are divided into groups and have power, but generally they will not target each other, even if the person who buys news is They are hostile, and there is no need for any disputes among those who provide information, and those have nothing to do with them."

"It's a good job."

"Not necessarily. Sometimes the person who dies the fastest is the person who inquired about the news. However, there is no completely safe job in the exile star. Even the waiter in the bar may die because of a sudden conflict."

"No rule of law, power above all else?"

"Destiny is determined by ability." Qiao Mo said with a smile.It wasn't the same when he was in exile.

Sol took a deep look at him, "I kind of understand why I felt you had a strong sense of disobedience when I was in the military academy. Turning a robber into a soldier is not something that happens overnight."

"Thank you for the compliment. I think I've adapted well. Unfortunately, Song Lanzhou didn't teach me how to disguise at that time, so it's inevitable that some temperament will be revealed. At least you won't feel it when we meet again in a few years, right?"

That's right, Qiao Mo had already cultivated at that time, so naturally he would no longer show his contradictory temperament.

Speaking of which, Sol's current disguise is still made by imitating Qiao Mo's feelings back then, which shows how deeply he impressed Sol at that time.

"During the sparring, you seemed to have gone crazy. Is it because you are used to the fighting style here that doesn't care about life or death?"

Qiao Mo didn't deny it, "It's only like that when we're fighting you, because we're about the same in strength, so in order not to lose ugly, we must do our best, and it's easy to be overwhelmed."

That's why Sol felt that Qiao Mo was not like a soldier at that time. Although he recognized his strength, he didn't have a good impression of this man. Now that he knew the reason, he felt that the confrontation at that time was an interesting thing.

Qiao Mo raised his eyebrows and teased, "Although you are also in the battlefield, the death on the battlefield with artillery fire is not so obvious, because when the explosion explodes, the entire starship is gone in an instant. There will be no scum left, unlike here, where death is clear, deep and bloody, so the bloody aura of the people in Exile Star cannot be hidden."

Saul nodded, knowing that Qiao Mo was explaining.

"Someone is following us." Sol suddenly turned his head to Qiao Mo.

"I know. Someone has followed us since we entered the gate. This is their rule." Qiao Mo didn't care.

"Aren't they afraid to annoy some people?" Thor raised his eyebrows.

"They still understand that they accept it as soon as they are good." Qiao Mo and Sol looked at each other, and a tacit understanding emerged spontaneously.

They intentionally maintained their original speed and circled around the various shops on the trading street, and circled many circles with their tails behind them. Sure enough, after a few circles, the number of people trailing behind had already decreased.

Those people probably already thought they were not dangerous.

"Is that why you didn't choose to go directly to the old house?" Saul was referring to those hanging behind them.

"Part of it, I've been away for so many years, I don't know whose territory that place has become, and it's easy to cause trouble." They didn't bring many people to the exile star, and if there was a conflict, it would be bad for them.

At night, there were only one or two trailing behind them.Qiao Mo and Saul behaved like people who came to the exile star for the first time. They wandered around, looking for interesting information, walking around with their 'tails', and buying things that the Federation could not buy on the surface, such as The standard weapon of the military.

"There is actually Shock 900 here. Isn't this the latest weapon produced by the Federal Ordnance Research Institute? This place actually produces energy." Sol frowned. He still likes to think about problems as a federal soldier, and he will not Can't change it.

"Exile Star has many weapon experts. Although there are only one or two top-level ones, there are a lot of advanced ones. As long as they have blueprints, even partial blueprints, they can make things as they are. Otherwise, why do you think so many people like it? Do arms trading here." Even many interstellar pirates supplement their firepower here.

"The internal drawings of the military department can be leaked, how much has the military department been infiltrated?"

"Not necessarily." Qiao Mo shook his head, "Those people may not have completely betrayed the Federation, they leaked part of the blueprint, and then gained benefits. How can such a thing be considered a betrayal in their own eyes?"

"This is no different from treason." Sol pondered. "The Commonwealth has too many moths."

"But you have no position now." Qiao Mo hit the nail on the head. He didn't want Sol to remain immersed in his past identity. Since he chose Defaran, he had to adapt gradually.

Saul's performance surprised Qiao Mo.

"I won't let De Fran become like this." Sol said lightly.In an instant, this man showed unparalleled confidence and pride. Qiao Mo had to admit that he really admired the man in front of him.

"You will be an excellent leader." Qiao Mo asserted.

Saul nodded and accepted his praise. Compared with Lucy Di Faran, he still has a lot to learn, but he doesn't need too long. Since he promised that he will definitely do it and do it to the best, this is The pride of the Difar family is engraved in their bones.

"I think we have to visit an old friend first, and I want to find out some news from him." Qiao Mo led Sol around a few bends, and successfully got rid of the few little mice that followed them in the end.He walked through the streets of the East Third District familiarly, even in the dark, he was very familiar with some narrow alleys, as if he had never left here.

"Do you know where he is?"

Qiao Mo shook his head, "I'll find out if he's not dead." Qiao Mo said calmly.

He led Sol through a narrow door, which seemed to be a hotel, but the decoration at the door was unusually low-key, but people kept coming in and out, and even many people were well-dressed, both wearing masks and not wearing masks. have.

"It's still the same here as it was back then." Qiao Mo sighed, and the crowds kept coming and going. Sure enough, no matter how many years passed, the store still stood tall.

"Where is it?" Sol rarely asked.

"Red Light District."

Sol was stunned for a moment, Qiao Mo thought he was not clear, and continued to explain, "The front is the red hall, which is full of prostitutes, and the back is the blue pipe, which are all male prostitutes."

"I'm not that ignorant." Seeing that Qiao Mo was familiar with this place, Sol's mood became bad.

Because of the darkness of the night, Qiao Mo couldn't see the expression on Sol's face clearly, but he could hear the emotion in his voice.

"Go in." He chuckled.

"Huh?" Thor frowned rarely, he didn't like this kind of place.

Qiao Mo raised his eyebrows, "The person we are looking for is inside."

"how do you know?"

"Because this is the largest gold-selling cave in the East Third District. Men in the East Third District like to come here as long as they have some money. The man we are looking for has always been a regular visitor here. He likes beauties. During the day we have already taken him to the place outside After turning around, since he is not in the arena, he can only be here." Qiao Mo glanced at Sol, "Before I left, I asked Qiao Ling for a special order, and the people from Silver Wolf will divide it up. The approval of the exile star is considered to be an execution order. In order not to cause riots, they can only enter in groups of a few people, so we can only keep a low profile now, find the person I am looking for and ask about the situation of the old house, this is the best .That guy is very afraid of death, he doesn't drink or eat with strangers, and usually bodyguards and other people will never leave him, except for 'errands', and only then can we get close."

"Even if it is close, the one who is close to him is the woman who works with him." Sol frowned tightly.

Qiao Mo shook his finger, "He has a bad habit. When he likes to do it, he watches others do it together. Only in this way can he enjoy orgasm. This is the best opportunity." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
