16 Ed Campbell

Mars base, three days have passed since the last asteroid belt counter ambush.

At this moment, Lin Fan was waiting with Liang Xue in the docking area of ​​Xinggang, because there was a communication just now, saying that the spaceship that the negotiating team was on had arrived.

Soon, a destroyer docked in Star Harbor.

However, when Lin Fan saw the one who took the lead, he felt familiar, very familiar.

Wait, I remembered, I used to see it on TV a lot, isn't this Ed Campbell?

It is estimated that they belong to the same family as Emma, ​​Lin Fan thought in his heart.

Ed took the four people down the hanging ladder, and Lin Fan brought Liang Xue up to meet him.

"Hello, I'm Lin Fan, commander of Task Force 101, and this is my adjutant Liang Xue."

Lin Fan directly stretched out his right hand.

"I said, you kid, what did you say to me? You forgot who I am after I haven't seen you for 19 years? I hugged you when you were first born."

Lin Fan's black line, forget you after 19 years? Please, I'm only 19 years old.

The only time we have seen feelings is when we were just born. Is this something that human beings can remember?

Lin Fan is no longer able to complain, this uncle's brain circuit is really a bit...

"Okay, don't stand still, I'm just kidding you, my name is Ed Campbell, and I'm the leader of the negotiation team. All four of them are my subordinates. Besides, I hugged you when you were born. You are real."

"Uh... well, Uncle Ed!"

"now it's right!"

Seeing that Lin Fan returned the title consciously, Ed nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, Uncle Ed, I want to ask you something, does Emma Campbell from the Interstellar Military Academy belong to your family?"

"What is not a family, Emma is my daughter, why, you know my daughter!"

"Uh.. Yes, after all, they are in the same class. Seeing that you have the same last name, and you are still Campbell, I wonder if you are from the same family?"

"Well, wait, I remember a few years ago, my daughter seemed to say that there was someone in the class who was always telling her dirty jokes, couldn't it be you?"

"Uh... definitely not me!"

Well, Lin Fan shamelessly denied it, saying that when Lin Fan first entered the Interstellar Military Academy, he found a beautiful woman named Emma.

But, this beauty is like an iceberg, of course, much better than Liang Xue who is standing beside Lin Fan.

So, the shameless Lin Fan ran to her side all day and talked about dirty jokes. At first, Emma was annoyed when she saw Lin Fan.

However, when a person talks beside you every day, saying things for two years...

As a result, after more than 2 years, Lin Fan twisted Irene's character a lot.

Of course, this cannot be admitted in front of Ed Campbell.

"Well, yes, you don't look like that kind of person."

"Well, Uncle Mingjian!"

On one side, Liang Xue's expression twitched slightly, but no one found out, what Liang Xue was thinking at this moment.

I think that person is Lin Fan...

"Okay, let's not talk about the rest, take me to see the ninth prince. I must first understand his importance in the Oaks Empire before formulating a correct negotiation strategy."

"Okay, Uncle Ed, please come with me!"

Lin Fan led Ed to the direction of the prison, while Liang Xue followed behind the two.

"I said boy Lin, your adjutant seems too cold!"

"Well, Uncle Ed saw it too. I've been trying to find a way to correct her character, but I can't do it!"

"To deal with this type of person, tell him dirty jokes every day."

"Well, yes, I'm good at this, I can say a few times a day without repetition..."

wait,

I look like I've been tricked?

"Snapped..."

Lin Fan suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

After turning his head slowly, he found Ed Campbell who was smiling at him, but, why is this smile so terrifying.

"Uncle Ed, I think there is some misunderstanding between us..."

"Needless to say now, focus on this mission, and when I come back, I think we need to have a good chat..."

On the side, Liang Xuezheng, who was watching the whole process, twitched the corner of her mouth. It could be seen that she endured very hard.

At first, when she heard the two of them saying that she was too cold, Liang Xue almost broke out, but the later development made her almost uncontrollably laugh.

Fortunately, as a perennial ice cube, her basic skills in maintaining expressions are still very good, but it's just a bit hard to endure.

Lin Fan looked at Ed Campbell with a wry smile.

Sure enough, the people in charge of negotiation are all old foxes and have a headache.

Soon, the three came to the detention room.

"Uncle Ed, this is it, open the door!"

"Yes!"

The guard in the cell immediately trotted over and opened the door for the three of them.

After the three walked in, they saw a humanoid being locked in a single room.

Although it is a humanoid creature, there are still many differences in appearance from humans.

He has two horns on his head, some are similar to bull horns, the skin is red, and some are like demons in human legends.

Ed was not surprised by Doron's appearance. After all, this was not the first time that humans had captured the Ox people's captives.

Walking up, the prison door across the single room opened.

"Oh? Are you the ninth prince of the Oaks Empire?"

"Who are you?"

"Me? My name is Ed Campbell. I'm going to negotiate with you in a while. Do you have anything to say to me?"

"You want to use me as a bargaining chip to negotiate?"

"Oh, quite clever!"

Don't look at Doron when he was in the war. He was completely a fledgling guy who commanded the army on paper, but he was very experienced in politics. After all, he had negotiated many times on behalf of the Ox Empire and other civilizations.

Moreover, the royal family of the Ox Empire is also intriguing. Doren has been in such an environment since he was born, how can he not understand what Ed is doing?

"Don't bother, I am the least favored prince, otherwise I wouldn't be thrown to the front to command a small fleet."

"Well, okay, let's go!"

Ed turned his head and said something to Lin Fan before walking out.

Liang Xue is a question mark, what is this looking for?

After walking out of the cell, Ed looked at Liang Xue and said to Lin Fan.

"It seems that your adjutant doesn't understand very well! Can you explain it to her?"

"It's actually very simple. First of all, from the few words just now, it can be seen that this ninth prince is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, and he has a good understanding of political intrigues, so no matter how much you ask, there will be no results."

"Secondly, how important information has been obtained. He said just now that we should not waste our efforts. When he was the most unloved prince, his eyes floated to the left, and his hands also had some subtle unnatural movements. Therefore, He's lying."

"This ninth prince is not only unfavored, but extremely favored. It is very likely that he is the favorite prince of the Emperor of the Ox Empire!"

Can you tell so much in a few words?

Are you two really human?

While shocked, Liang Xue thought silently in her heart.
