Chapter 300 301 Nobles"Sir Father! You insist on coming back here at this time...Aren't you kidding the whole family?" One middle age person frowned, complaining about his father.
He stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, watching several domestic servants working hard to clear the sea sand accumulated in the yard to the door.
On the street outside, a car with a gun was passing next to it, because the wet street did not raise any smoke. This is a seaside city after all, and it is a clean and tidy ferry city after all.
This family is an old aristocrat of Ferry City, and Kang Ning is the family name. Before Ferry City was ruled by Alanhill, this family had already begun to decline, and its reputation was not very bright.
But later, Alanhill ruled Ferry City, and Ferry City first began to rely on seafood and sea salt to make a fortune, and it became Alanhill's city with better economic conditions.
And this family also relied on seafood to start its business, and then entered the shipbuilding market, becoming such a wealthy and huge family today.
"We've already arrived in Serris, and it's not bad to live there for a few months. Anyway, the third child has his own property there, and we won't be back if we don't come back. There will be no problem... ..." The middle age person was very dissatisfied, and continued chattering without hearing his father's response.
It's no secret that Ferry City became the front line. Even nuclear weapons have been launched. People with a little background can know a bit and pieces when they ask.
even more how, in order to recruit and prepare for the war, Alanhill's top management did not hide anything. Newspapers and radio broadcasts reported the news in detail, and there were even many video materials on TV.
He is wearing a gorgeous dress, the latest from Alanhill this year, with oversized sleeves that show luxury, and a brocade around his waist that can be hung with crystal clear and near-transparent. Ornament, set off your own taste.
This kind of popular clothing, which is called Hanfu by Alanhill executives, is spreading in the upper class. Many people like to wear this kind of loose clothes, carefully select the most expensive silk fabrics, and then decorate them with enough. The tasteful High Level decoration can definitely make others envious.
This family is rich, and the servants who are rich enough to use at home are carefully selected and dressed in gorgeous clothes. They are also one of the very best big households in Ferry City, the upper class of the upper class.
After all, they were one of the first nobles to follow the dragon. In the past few years, they have worked diligently and cooperated with the emperor to expand the shipbuilding industry. Chinese style.
"Sir Father! Look at this street! Is this the place we should come back?" The middle age person flicked his wide sleeves and reluctantly spoke again: "Look Look, look at the chaos!"
"Even if you insist on coming back, the third brother and I will accompany you back, and what do you want the second brother to do when you come back. With so many family members, this Didn't we put our Kang Ning Family in danger?" He walked over, stood behind the stubborn old man, and continued to ask.
The old man still didn't speak, just watched his servants clean up the magnificent, but now dilapidated yard with satisfaction in his eyes.
As if he didn't hear his son's question, he raised his feet and walked forward, until he walked to the big pond he liked the most, looking at the turbid water inside, and sighed in distress. Said: "It's a pity, it's a good fish in a pond."
The old man was not so old back then. At that time, he personally took his few remaining servants to the sea, and went to sea with the others in Laurens. Behind the flagship, rely on your own hands to fight the sea.
Every time he returns with a reward, it makes the Kang Ning Family richer, and every time he returns with a reward, his family becomes more prosperous and stronger. The eldest of his four sons has always been by his side, the second became a senior official of the Fisheries Administration, the third established a factory in Serris, and the Old Fourth became a naval commander under Laurens.
"Father...!" The boss became even more annoyed when he saw that the old man actually felt sorry for the fish in the pond at this time, and his tone became a little restless.
"It is an unwritten rule of the nobility to shoulder the responsibility of defending the land when the enemy attacks! The Kang Ning Family can't fight for Your Majesty, but they must uphold the glory of the nobility. People are there, The city is... the city is dying, the people are dying..." The old man finally spoke and said to his son.
"That should also require women and children..." The middle age person is still persuaded.
"Women and children! They are also the women and children of the Kang Ning Family! What they eat is the Kang Ning Family's food, and they use the Kang Ning Family's gold coin! Then, it should be now, together with the Kang Ning Family. , to be loyal to the empire!"
"But father! Always leave a little bloodline for the Kang Ning Family, right?" The middle age person was already crying and begging.
"If the devil wins, there will be no future for mankind! I swore to dedicate my loyalty to this country, and the Kang Ning Family must fulfill my oath!" The old man stretched out his withered hand and stroked it Touching his son's cheek, he sighed regretfully.
His sons forgot what they had experienced in Dan year. The whole family of more than a dozen people gathered together and starved, and could only survive on some seafood. It was Alanhill who improved the sailboats that allowed the fishing industry to flourish.
At that time, they could see the changes in Ferry City every day, and every day all they could see the expanded salt field and the newly built dock. They contracted a few docks with all the money and were on the fast track to making a fortune.
Obviously, these youngsters may have forgotten the pitiful days, and the embarrassment and misery of this world before Alanhill's arrival, as well as the depravity and darkness.
"I beg you..." The middle age person wanted to give it a final try, but was interrupted by the old man.
"What is it that makes you forget the nobility of being a noble? You wear gorgeous clothes and taste spicy wine, have you even lost the courage to bear death? My son... we Nobler than commoners, not because we have money, but because we have responsibilities! Now, show your courage and do what you need to do!" The old man said stubbornly.
The old man's hand, full of gemstone rings, patted his son's shoulder: "Like a man, okay? Let's leave and let the poor, scantily clad civilians come and fight for us? What a joke? If the devil steps into this city, then the Kang Ning Family should all be on the list of dying for the country!"
The middle-aged man knows that no matter what he says now, he will There is no way to change the old man's decision.
Just when he was desperate, a youngster who looked like him but looked much younger came over, followed by a young officer.
This youngster stood in front of the old man, lowered his head gently and said, "father, this officer wants to ask us for help..."
"sorry, Mr. Ning! I am Our troops will set up a line of defense in the vicinity. If possible, we will requisition a few houses here... I know you are a respected noble here..."
"No problem! I We can send people to help you strengthen your defenses, and you can transform them how you want! If you think this place affects your vision, you can blow it up!" The Old Master smiled and said first.
"You are really righteous." The young officer didn't expect his request to be granted so easily, and he felt at a loss and unreal.
"If you can, give me a gun to the Old Master, and I want to see if these demons have the guts to enter my room!" The old man's tone was full of contempt, as if in front of him. The battle of , has already been won in general.
The young officer hesitated for a moment, then lifted the holster around his waist, pulled out the pistol inside, checked the bullets in the magazine, and handed it to the old man: "You take the pistol. Self-protection..."
"Really give it to me?" The old man was quite forthright, laughed heartily, took the pistol, weighed the weight, threw it to his third son, and said, "Old man Three! The devil has really hit here, and the last bullet is left to me!"
The third child caught the pistol and shuddered a bit, but still nodded agreed: " It's...Sir Father...the demons can't hit here."
Hearing what the Old Master said, the young officer also laughed and said comforted: "Sir Corning! If a demon appears. With you, that means I'm dead! So, don't worry about anything."
"Yeah, with you here, I don't have to worry about anything as an old fogey!" the old man nodded, and then patted the young officer's Shoulders: "I won't take a step back! Humanity won't take a step back! Alanhill got us up, then we won't kneel again!"
"Long live Emperor Your Majesty! Long live Alanhill!" Young The officer stood at attention and saluted solemnly, then turned around and walked out of the yard with a more regular step than when he entered.
Before the courtyard door was closed, a middle-aged man wearing armor and holding a long sword around his waist walked into the courtyard with heroism reaching to the clouds.
He laughed heartily and stood in front of the old man, as if he had encountered the happiest thing: "I knew it! Corning Swell Uncle will definitely be back! So I am back! "
"I always feel that as a nobleman, I can't shame the empire." The Old Master made a gesture of invitation: "When I saw you youngsters, I knew that we nobles, There are still some Essence, Qi, and Spirit."
"Your Majesty gives us the dawn, I will never live to see the afterglow of the empire!" Youngster pressed the long sword on his waist and said firmly: "I wait for the nobles to die, and the Alanhill Empire to die!"
