He opened his eyes suddenly, and found a soft and fragrant bed beneath him. It was Audrey's bedroom. Although she didn't live there all the time, her body fragrance seemed to remain on the pillow, which made him daydream endlessly.
However, Lu Ming was still immersed in the fierce battle in which he had just annihilated the largest bandit gang "Langlifei" in the White Sea.
My life in the White Sea is completely different from that in the other three regions. It is boring, hard and bloody.
But now, it's finally over.
The destruction of "Flying in the Waves" also means that the White Sea bandit suppression campaign has officially come to an end, and the cleanup work can be handed over to others.
As the next stop of "Captain Wang", I should relax and travel around the Northern Territory to do some research, especially the former provinces of the Northern Territory under the rule of the Principality. From the impact of concepts to institutional changes, earth-shaking changes are taking place.
Governance is much more difficult than conquering these territories by oneself.
Well, demobilize "Captain Wang" and arrange a job for him locally so that he can really go deep into the grassroots to understand what kind of path is the best choice for the Northern Territory in this great change of the millennium.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming slowly sat up, got up and washed.
There is nothing important happening in Japan today, so let's deal with the affairs here first.
…
"Joseph Cohen" was a dark-skinned Mitai man. Looking at the person who came, Lu Ming didn't say anything, but just picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.
Audrey, who was sitting next to Lu Ming, curled her lips in disdain, "You can go now, don't waste our time!"
This is a small tavern on Emerald Isle, which was booked by Audrey this morning.
The Mitai people had a dull expression, as if they didn't hear what the two people opposite were saying. They said, "My master, let me ask you the first question. Is the real owner of the Free Island Alliance and this Free Trade City-State here? If not, I will leave now."
Audrey frowned, and Lu Ming waved his hand to stop her from talking. He smiled at the Mitai people and said, "I am the owner of this place. My background comes from the Principality of Montenegro. I am someone who can meet the Prince of Montenegro Castle and influence his decision."
Mitai thought for a while, "Your answer introduces your background, which is one of the answers my master asked me to continue." He thought for a while, "According to your answer, my master asked me to tell you that if you can safely send him away from Antigua, he can agree to a reward of 100 million imperial coins. However, he does not trust you now, so he will contact you again. You don't have to look for him. If I go back now, he will definitely not be here, and I don't know where he is." After a pause, he continued: "You only need to prepare a few plans, how to secretly send him away from here, and ensure that your people cannot detain him. He will contact you again, using a secret radio." As he spoke, he put the box in his hand on the table, "Here are the radio bands and code books."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I need to send him away secretly and make sure I can't detain him. This plan is very difficult!"
"My master said that this is your problem!" Mitairen said, then stood up and bowed slightly: "I'm leaving now!"
Looking at the back of the Mitai people, Audrey snorted coldly: "Playing tricks! This is the nature of the Gaide people!"
Lu Ming shook his head: "I don't have time to play hide-and-seek with him, so find him out!" He didn't know who he was talking to in the void.
…
At dusk, on Xiaolu Island, which has golden beaches, blue sea and emerald coconut trees, there is a glass house built on a huge reef platform where the waves crash against the shore and splash white waves.
Lu Ming drank his coffee slowly.
The scenery here is really amazing, it is definitely a great place for holiday and leisure.
However, for the people of Antigua and Barbuda, traveling is not their concept and they just work hard to make a few coins.
The people who come to Xiaolu Island are mainly the wealthy people of Feldman. Xiaolu Island is divided into dozens of areas, all of which have golden beaches and nearly 100 square kilometers of land on the island, which are sold to private individuals. The wealthy invite their relatives and friends to come here to play without interfering with each other. The golden beach that Lu Ming bought has an excellent location, especially the glass house on the reef platform. The waves are crashing against the rocks under your feet, the white waves are splashing, and the blue sea and blue sky in the distance are really refreshing.
Who would have thought that this guy also owns a private beach area and is hiding here now
There weren't many people here to begin with, and Xiaolu Island was very famous, so the pursuers would never have thought that the target could be hiding in such a conspicuous area.
The Gad man looked to be in his fifties. He was now lying on the ground with a look of despair on his face.
Standing next to the Gede man was a woman dressed in black with her face covered with a black cloth.
Qing'e-6 broke through the bottleneck at the beginning of the year and was named "Chasing Phoenix". Its secret skills are concealment and tracking.
His original duty in Antigua was to monitor the four Western ladies, but later he gradually developed an intelligence network here.
At the same time, he is also the behind-the-scenes commander of the Emerald City-State Self-Defense Force and the Biyun Self-Defense Force.
When she is near her master, her abilities can be enhanced to an incredible level. She can tell where a Mitai man is from and even know what happened to him just by looking at the dust on his body.
From the island where the Mitai people and the Gede people once met, they traced directly to Xiaolu Island.
Even in the sea, she seemed to be able to track the Gede people by smelling their scent.
Lu Ming looked at the Gaiden and was suddenly stunned: "Is it you?" He spoke in Western language.
The Gede man smiled bitterly, then slowly stood up and said to Zhui Feng beside him: "Bring me a chair!"
Zhui Feng understood what he said, but would not pay attention to him. Seeing Lu Ming's gesture, he picked up the chair and threw it behind the Gad man.
The Gede man slowly sat down and looked at Lu Ming: "Who are you?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You haven't met the fake Joseph yet. I've told him that I'm from the Principality of Montenegro and I'm one of His Royal Highness's think tanks."
The Gede nodded slowly.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You should believe that I can get you out of here, right? Even at the Ferman train station and the airport, there must be a lot of people chasing you and secretly checking you out."
The Gede nodded again.
Lu Ming smiled slightly: "So, 100 million yuan, deal? If I had known it was you, I would have offered several times more, but since I've already made the promise, this is the only way."
The Gaiden was stunned and looked at Lu Ming, trying to judge whether Lu Ming was playing a trick on him.
"But I haven't seen any news about you getting into trouble?" Lu Ming was a little curious. "And your group's headquarters is in the imperial capital. How did you flee from Sonia and come here?"
This Gaide man is of great background. He can be said to be the helmsman of one of the oldest chaebol groups in the empire.
Joseph Soros, one of the richest men in the empire, is a frequent villain in the terrifying rumors that the Gede are using the economy to rule the empire.
His oil and steel empire even surpassed the Fila family.
"I was kidnapped to Sonia. Fortunately, I had some connections, so I escaped." Joseph's face was gloomy.
Lu Ming frowned slightly. It was obvious that the Kingdom of Sonia was moving further and further away from the empire's original development track.
Have they started sending secret police to kidnap wealthy people from other countries
In a country where the people are fanatical, the regime will usually become extremely dangerous.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming said, "I'll make some arrangements and send you back to the imperial capital tomorrow, but when you hold a press conference, you must conceal the fact that we, the Black Mountain people, helped you. We don't want to be involved in the dispute between the two western kingdoms."
Joseph sighed softly: "I don't want to go back to the imperial capital."
Lu Ming was slightly surprised, and then he realized that the political atmosphere in the capital might be very strange now, and it was no longer the same as before.
Joseph felt uneasy and thought that if he returned to the imperial capital, he might suffer the same fate again.
"Send me to the East China Sea!" Joseph seemed to have thought it through long ago. He looked at Lu Ming and smiled bitterly, "Maybe I can only go to the East China Sea."
From the conversation with Lu Ming, he gradually came to believe that the other party would really keep his promise and secretly arrange for him to leave here. Now that things had come to this, there was no need for the other party to lie to him anymore.
Lu Ming nodded slightly. Indeed, it seemed that he had no choice but to go to the East China Sea. It seemed that the East China Sea had really become a beacon of freedom and democracy on the imperial continent.
"I hope I can finish my memoirs before I am shot..." Joseph muttered with a gloomy face.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You are too pessimistic. The people of East China Sea are mainly from Central Asia. Their lives are getting better and better, and they have more and more political rights. They are full of hope for the future, so there is no widespread extreme public opinion. Nothing will change there..." When he mentioned East China Sea, his heart was filled with pride. If it weren't for the enlightened system of East China Sea, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Even if a person travels through time and has a head full of brilliant ideas, if he were to return to a society like the late Qing Dynasty in his previous life, he would probably be beheaded sooner or later.
Joseph smiled bitterly: "But I can't escape assassination, but if you want me to hide in some unknown countryside, I won't be willing to do that!"
Lu Ming nodded in understanding. The East China Sea has many advantages, but it also has many disadvantages. For example, even if Joseph applied for political refugee status, it would be difficult for him to get airtight protection according to the laws of the East China Sea. If the Sonyans were determined to assassinate him, he would not be able to escape the danger sooner or later.
Looking at Joseph's gloomy expression, Lu Ming's heart suddenly moved slightly, "Mr. Soros, you actually have another choice. How about going to Black Mountain Castle? We will definitely provide the most stringent protection measures. You should have a small understanding of our capabilities. This is in the Outer Realm. If it were in Black Mountain Castle, I believe that it would be impossible for the Sonyans or the agents of other military and political groups to find a chance to shoot you!"
Joseph was stunned. He looked at Lu Ming, then at Zhui Feng beside him, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.
"Apart from the 100 million yuan reward, we will not charge any fees for your protection, please rest assured!" Lu Ming said sincerely, "Of course, we definitely need your investment, but the Principality of Montenegro is in a state of disrepair and has particularly hardworking people. It is a good opportunity for investors. I believe you can see this, so this is mutually beneficial, not us asking for your help."
Joseph smiled bitterly, "But my current industry may only have a small part in the eastern economic zone, because my original investment focus was in the central and western regions." He paused, "What I am worried about is that my bank account at the Imperial Bank will also be frozen. However, I still have more than 300 million yuan in liquid funds in my account at the Baoyin Bank. I had a premonition that the situation was not good, so I tilted the funds to Baoyin Bank in the past two years, but that's it. So, I may not be as valuable as you think. On the contrary, it may anger the Sonyans."
Indeed, his industrial focus is in the central and western regions. Those industrial buildings, steel mills and related factories, crude oil processing plants, oil fields, etc. will definitely be requisitioned by the eldest prince and the second prince.
Lu Ming nodded: "It doesn't matter. Your brain is also a great asset to us."
Joseph stared at Lu Ming for a while, and suddenly said: "My two oil fields in the Western Regions may be taken away by the Sonya people sooner or later. Now the Sonya people's influence in the Western Regions is growing. I am willing to give those two oil fields to His Royal Highness for free. Of course, it depends on whether His Royal Highness is willing to accept them."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I will tell His Royal Highness the Prince."
Joseph added: "Also, I have a rocket laboratory in the East China Sea that can be moved to Montenegro."
"Rocket Lab?" Lu Ming immediately became interested.
Joseph said: "Yes, the technical team I invested in has been secretly researching two types of rockets. One is a cruise rocket that looks like an airplane; the other is a ballistic rocket with a parabolic flight trajectory. It was the leader of this project who first approached me to invest. At that time, the war had just broken out, and I thought there was great potential..." He said with a wry smile.
Obviously, he saw the potential of this project to become a big killer, and he could make a fortune from the war. However, he did not expect that when peace was broken and war and chaos broke out, people like him would be the first to suffer.
Lu Ming's heart was beating fast. Isn't this an aviation rocket and a missile? In his previous life, a German project team started to develop it in the 1930s.
The world's technological level is rather skewed, so relevant research projects did not appear until the mid-1950s, when the current war broke out.
Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, at least it’s a start.
With a calm expression on his face, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Of course." He made up his mind that the Qing'es would have to go in person to relocate the laboratory, and those scientific researchers would have to be forced to come over even if they had to be forced.
Our own weapons laboratory focuses on the research and development of rockets, and what we value is immediate combat capability, which is completely different from this.
"Mr. Soros, congratulations in advance on becoming a citizen of the Principality of Black Mountain Castle!" Lu Ming stood up, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "When you arrive at Black Mountain Castle, you just need to fill out some forms and take the oath. There will be no obstacles!"
Joseph slowly stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Lu Ming's. Although his eyes were still a little confused, the gloom on his face was much less.
"You won't regret your decision today!" Lu Ming smiled and shook Joseph's hand hard.
"Thank you!" Joseph's smile was somewhat lonely.
…
As night fell, Lu Ming lay on the soft big bed in the cabin on the beach, with a blue glass cover above his head and the starry sky shining brightly.
Spending the night here, the humid sea breeze during the day has dissipated, and it is indeed a great enjoyment to feel the cool night breeze and look at the vast starry sky.
Lu Ming was thinking about the situation in the Western Regions and the plan to send Joseph to Montenegro tomorrow.
But Audrey and the others were all there, chattering, making it hard to calm down.
In fact, there were several similar cabins on the beach, but they all chose to come to their own cabin, under the pretext of having dinner together to celebrate for themselves.
But somehow I feel that they now find it fun to torture themselves. They are no longer afraid of themselves and instead like to "bully" themselves.
Of course, the so-called "bullying" is just to bother you, to see you thinking about problems, and not to let you have peace.
They had all just showered to wash off the sand on their bodies, and were all wearing bath towels, but in fact they were still wearing bikinis from sunbathing on the beach.
Everywhere I looked, I saw snow-white arms and legs. I could only look up at the starry sky.
"Is that guy really Soros?!" Audrey, who was cutting fruit over there, asked curiously.
The four of them just had some fruit for dinner, and Lu Ming didn't mind.
"Yes." Lu Ming responded casually.
"Before, he was like a mythical figure..." Audrey sighed softly.
Yes, a person who was originally a symbol of superiority, in front of this man, seemed like a stray puppy begging for shelter.
"Your Highness, this is for you..." A fragrant breeze blew and the bed moved slightly. Lu Ming turned his head and saw Kate lying on her side beside him. She used to be the most arrogant, and Shan Feng was as arrogant as her. She also had a pair of extremely charming green eyes. At this moment, she put a red fruit to his mouth, with snow-white slender fingers and long nails painted milky white, which was indescribably charming.
Lu Ming shook his head: "I'll get it myself later."
Kate giggled, and put her red lips close to Lu Ming's ear and breathed softly, "Your Highness..., do you like men?..." Her voice was soft and full of charm.
Before Lu Ming could say anything, he felt his ear move slightly, warm and itchy. It turned out that he was bitten gently by her pearly teeth, and she giggled even more.
"Kate, what are you doing?!" Audrey frowned.
Kate immediately sat up and said angrily, "Margaret, you cheated. When we made the bet, we said that Audrey must not see it. Why did you touch her on purpose?"
Lu Ming had no choice but to pick up the blanket beside him and cover himself with it.
Kate had already exclaimed: "Ah, Margaret, you lose!"
Lu Mingteng sat up and pointed at the door, "You guys, go back and rest!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"knew… "
Several sexy figures stood up and walked out obediently. To them, what Lu Ming said seriously was like an imperial decree, but as soon as they walked out of the house, they immediately started laughing again.
Audrey had just walked to the door when she turned back and said, "Your Highness, don't be angry. You are the only one among the four men who can joke and laugh. They are also women..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I understand, so I'm not angry." Indeed, after several years, it was good enough that they didn't become lonely women.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Audrey then walked out of the house.
Lu Ming shook his head, closed his eyes, and returned to Montenegro.
However, listening to the chatter outside, I felt a little strange.
In fact, not long ago, Liuli told herself some of the things she and Biju understood about the so-called "sanctification of the flesh" five years later.
First of all, she would have the opportunity to give birth to children.
It’s frustrating to think about it. One has to reach a certain level before being able to have children. Is this spiritual practice or a physiological regression
The good news is that theoretically, he can have nine sons and nine daughters, and with these nine sons and nine daughters, after the dragon gives birth to nine sons and its qi turns into nine daughters, he can truly become a saint in the flesh.
However, it is extremely difficult for her to give birth to children.
Liuli said that only if he possessed more and more women would he have a greater chance of reproducing offspring.
Why do I feel like I am the same as the Greek gods in my previous life? In fact, each god has the thinking of mortals, or even mortals without the constraints of moral concepts. They just act according to animal instincts. For animals, even plants, copying more of themselves, that is, reproducing more offspring, is a natural instinct and exists in their natural genes.
Cults…
Lu Ming then closed his eyes and returned to Montenegro.
