I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

"...Mulan City is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. It's a pity that this winter, Mulan City is unusually cold. It's not worth going now. We'd better wait until next summer. If you want to go, you can go with Sister Hui." Fan Chengcai explained that he did not just follow Quan Caiwei.

Quan Caiwei feels very good about Fan Chengcai's attitude.

This equal but polite gesture is what she appreciates the most.

She didn't like to be with those who raised her up, and of course, she didn't like to be with those who hated her.

So she rarely interacts with people outside her circle.

Because only in their circle are they truly equal, no one has to accommodate anyone, and no one wants to take advantage of others, or be taken advantage of by others.

Now Fan Chengcai gave her almost the same feeling, making her feel relaxed and at ease.

She thought this trip was pretty good.

While they were drinking tea and listening to music, Xia Chu met their team and received the second schedule.

It's Quan Caiwei's schedule after five o'clock.

From Wushi Pavilion, they would go to the nearby restaurant Yisaka for dinner.

From now on, they have to go to the Isaka restaurant to enforce the law.

Everyone in the team: "..."

Although they knew yesterday that the Tulip Lady would come to Yisaka for dinner, looking at the battle now, they really thought that even if the princess came, it would probably be like this.

Maybe even worse.

Li Fu started the aircraft and flew to Yishaka's landing pad, while gossiping: "In fact, the children of the four noble families are really not much worse than the children of the royal family. And they are definitely much better than the children of the clan."

Xia Chu saw and felt his eyes welling up.

"Master Fu, what is the relationship between the royal family and the clan? Isn't the clan the royal family?" she asked curiously.

Li Fu said: "The clan is a member of the royal family, but it is not the royal family. The royal family refers specifically to the branch of the clan that ascends to the throne of God. Those members of the royal family who have not become emperors can only become ordinary clan members. They do not have noble titles, only Although he has a clan status, this status is still the same as that of a noble. It’s just not as good as the four major nobles.”

Ping Qiong clasped her fingers and said, "So, the titles of these four noble families, the Su family, the Zong family, the Quan family and the Li family, are hereditary and replaceable?"

Li Fu said: "Well, not only are they hereditary, but they will never seize the title. Otherwise, how can we call them the four nobles?"

"No matter what they do, will they not be punished? Even if they are treason? Or conspiracy?" Xia Chujian asked curiously.

Li Fu said: "Of course they will be punished. Whoever commits a crime will be punished. He will be killed when he should be killed, but he will not be implicated. Therefore, the titles of the four nobles have always been stable and passed down within the family."

Xia Chujian continued to ask: "What about the other nobles?"

Li Fu said: "Other nobles have also been passed down since the founding of the country. However, although their titles can be inherited, they can also be taken away. They are not as safe as the four nobles. If they commit a crime, they will be implicated. .”

Xia Chujian thought thoughtfully: "Will there be new nobles? People who are promoted from commoners?"

Xia Chujian's words made Li Fu silent for a while before he said: "Of course, but the conditions are very harsh."

"Why?"

"Because the number of titles in the Beichen Empire is fixed and has been determined since the founding of the country. There are only 3,184 in total."

"The four dukes are the four nobles."

"Thirty marquis, sixty earls, ninety viscounts, and three thousand barons."

"Except for the hereditary succession of the four nobles, no one can seize the title even if they rebel. Other titles have gone up and down over the past ten thousand years."

"If you want to be knighted from a citizen, in addition to meeting various standards, you have to wait until a vacancy becomes available before you have the opportunity to be knighted."

Xia Chujian was fascinated by what he heard and continued to ask: "Then under what circumstances will the title become vacant?"

Li Fu said expressionlessly: "There are three situations where the title will be vacant."

"First, if you commit one of the three major crimes, you will be deprived of your title by the emperor. These three major crimes are rebellion, treason and chaos, except of course the four nobles."

"Two, if the whole family is extinct, the title will be automatically recovered. The four nobles are also excluded. Anyway, both men and women can inherit the title."

"Third, if someone commits a serious criminal offense and kills a high-ranking member of the nobility, cabinet, Senate, or military, not only will the culprit be sentenced to death, but the family will also be implicated, deprived of titles, or even demoted to civilians. And even in the future, even if If you perform meritorious service, you will never be ennobled or promoted to the nobility."

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched: "It's actually quite beneficial to the nobles, right? No noble would be so full that he would commit such things, right?"

"It's hard to say. The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds." Li Fu sneered.

Xia Chujian didn't care about these details, but just sighed: "If this is the case, then there is still hope for being knighted from citizens or commoners, right?"

Li Fu said: "Well, as long as there is room for the title, and there are two conditions for becoming a knight in the Beichen Empire, it is enough to meet one of them."

"oh?"

"Either have sufficient military merit, or be elected to the Senate."

"Who decides?"

"Being a knight is absolutely the right of the emperor. Neither the Senate, the cabinet, nor the military can interfere."

Xia Chujian snorted: "This Emperor Beichen is quite smart. Although he is a so-called constitutional monarch, he still uses a title to firmly hold the backbone of his ministers."

Because even if a constitutional monarchy is achieved, the privileges of the nobility are still written into the constitution.

If the emperor has exclusive rights to titles, then the emperor still occupies a large part of the power in the political power.

It is not that easy to use a constitution to make the emperor completely transfer his power.

Li Fu: "..."

It sounds quite similar to this.

They chatted and soon parked on the tarmac of Esaka Restaurant.

Xia Chujian, Li Fu and Ping Qiong also wore those human-face hoods, which looked completely different from themselves.

The three people put on the uniforms of Quan's security, got off the aircraft with submachine guns on their backs, joined other security personnel, and began to guard the outside.

Inside the restaurant, the core personnel of Kwon's security are in charge.

Xia Chu saw Heping Qiong walking around in a circle and found nothing suspicious, so they sat side by side on the big tree branches in the courtyard outside the Yisaka restaurant and looked inside the restaurant with binoculars.

Xia Chujian said: "Are the diners inside all pretending to be Quan's security personnel?"

Ping Qiong was also looking inside the restaurant with binoculars. Hearing this, he said, "It must be true. I saw the money to die, and he was actually eating delicious food again!"

Xia Chujian silently took out a tube of low-grade nutrient solution from her arms and drank it all in one gulp while looking at the delicious food she saw through the telescope.

During this meal, they took strict precautions and there were no problems.

Quan Caiwei also enjoyed her meal.

It was not that she had never tasted Guiyuanxing's specialty unicorn beef, but the taste this time was particularly different because this time it was relatively fresh unicorn beef, while the ones she had eaten before were all frozen for a long time and then thawed.

No way, this kind of unicorn beef is a specialty of Guiyuan Star.

To be transported to Zangge Star where the Quan family is located, or Beichen Star where the Imperial Capital is located, they need to be frozen first, otherwise they will deteriorate.

Of course, it can also be transported by an interstellar spacecraft that can make space jumps, but in that case, the price of unicorn beef will be so high that only a few nobles can afford it. It is obviously not cost-effective, so no one will do it.

Quan Caiwei was full of praise and said: "Sure enough, the freshness of the ingredients is very important. I should come to Guiyuanxing every year to eat Unicorn Beef."

Fan Chengcai acted casually and said, "Actually, unicorn beef is not the most delicious specialty of our Guiyuan planet."

"Oh? I don't believe there is something more delicious than unicorn beef." Quan Caiwei asked curiously.

Fan Chengcai said: "Have you ever heard of black truffle wild rhino pig?"

"...I've heard of it, but never eaten it." Quan Caiwei shrugged, "I heard it's very difficult to catch?"

"Real black truffle wild rhinoceros pork, that's one of a kind!" Fan Chengcai was elated, "Caiwei, you really should come here again next year. I'll be your host and take you to Mulan City to eat delicious food! There's the Forest of Divorced Beasts there. recent."

"Forest of Alien Beasts?" Quan Caiwei's eyes flickered, "I've heard many people talk about it. Is it really dangerous there?"

"It's very dangerous. It can be said that every year, 100,000 bounty hunters go to the exotic beast forest, and less than 10,000 of them come back alive." Fan Chengcai sighed, "Every piece of black truffle wild rhinoceros pork has countless bounty rewards. The gold hunter’s life is trapped in it.”

Quan Caiwei was slightly startled, shook her head and said, "In this case, it's better not to eat it. It requires so many people to use their lives to catch it. No matter how delicious it is, I won't eat it."

Fan Chengcai: "..."

He knew that he had exerted too much force, so he coughed softly and looked at his eldest brother Fan Chengqi.

Fan Chengqi changed the topic with a smile and said: "Chengcai likes to exaggerate. In fact, wild rhino pigs with black truffles are not that difficult to catch. There are restaurants in Mulan City that specialize in this dish. Go check it out when you have time. Forget it if you don't have time. It's delicious. It’s also about fate.”

Quan Caiwei nodded in agreement and said, "Young Master Fan is right. Food is indeed about fate."

She brought the topic back: "But since the Alien Beast Forest is so dangerous, shouldn't we suggest to the cabinet to close the Alien Beast Forest and stop letting bounty hunters make unnecessary sacrifices?"

Fan Chengcai showed a look of disapproval and said seriously: "Caiwei, I know you have good intentions, but for thousands of bounty hunters, you are cutting off their livelihood."

Quan Caiwei was puzzled: "Why did I cut off their life? Isn't it good to let them live?"

Fan Chengcai said seriously: "Caiwei, you really don't understand the lives of ordinary people at the bottom. Although going to the Alien Beast Forest involves the risk of death, it is also their only chance to make a lot of money."

“If you want to make money, where can you go without risks?”

"They have families to support, and they want to climb up through their own efforts. If you don't let them enter the forest of alien animals, you will not only cut off their way of survival, but also cut off their way up. - Do you think it's not worth the gain? "

Quan Caiwei smiled slightly and said, "I didn't think carefully. Second Young Master Fan is right. Come on, let me toast you."

Fan Chengcai took the wine glass from her hand naturally and said, "You drink juice, and I drink."

As he spoke, he poured a glass of Green Yiguo juice for Quan Caiwei and a glass of red wine for himself.

The two raised their glasses and said, "Here's to the delicious food."

The people at the table cheered loudly, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Xia Chujian looked at all this with a telescope, feeling gradually uneasy.

That Fan Chengcai pretended to be a human being, but he actually seemed to make this Tulip lady look at him differently.

Ping Qiong also saw everything.

She comforted Xia Chujian: "Don't be discouraged. Pretends are always fake. I don't believe someone like Fan Chengcai can keep pretending."

"...What if he can fill it for six days?" Xia Chujian asked.

Pingqiong: "...".

She didn't know how to answer, and she knew in her heart that judging from the current situation, the possibility of Fan Chengcai filling up for six days was very high.
