"Hahahaha, my brother is here, come on, come and sit down!" Cheng Tianji greeted him without any surprise.

Seeing Qi Lung approaching, the five people in the pavilion stood up at the same time and said hello to him.

Qi Long glanced at the eldest son, Cheng Sanlou, the fourth young lady, Cheng Qing, the sixth young master, Cheng Siran, and the second lady, Mrs. Baimei.

Seemingly following Cheng Tianji's instructions, the four of them were extremely respectful to Qi Lung, as if they were unaware of the traffic jam on the street two hours ago.

Qi Long glanced at the pale-faced Cheng Sanlou and the beautiful young lady wearing a bun, and finally fixed his gaze on the Sixth Young Master and the Second Madam, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Young Master Si Ran, right? I've heard it a long time ago that you are a very filial child. When I saw you today, it turned out to be true."

The handsome young man was stunned, as if he did not expect that this vicious general would talk to him, and he quickly lowered his head and said: "I don't dare, my nephew is not as literary and talented as his elder brother, nor is his third brother's martial arts extraordinary. He can only do his best to support his parents.

, I dare not call it filial piety."

But she was not filial and she waited on her stepmother until she got to bed.

Qi Long nodded expressionlessly, sat down on the main seat swaggeringly, and then started chatting with Cheng Tianji, as if the scene just now was just a casual remark.

The eldest son's eyes flashed, his face turned pale, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, then took a sip of tea.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, brother, let's have a banquet."

"Wait a minute, since it's a family dinner, why aren't my sister-in-law and my nieces and nephews here?"

"Haha, my sister has been ill recently and can't come. The third brother is away leading troops, and the second brother is angry with the master. Little boy, please don't worry about him. I will pour you some wine."

Mrs. Baimei poured wine for Qi Long and glanced at him with dazzling eyes. When she bent down, a trace of whiteness flashed across her chest.

Qi Long glanced at him, and then followed Xue Baohou's style and laughed wildly, "Brother is so lucky. He has a second sister-in-law to serve him day and night. No wonder he can't get out of the chair."

"you--"

Cheng Siran couldn't suppress his anger, and when he was about to say something, Cheng Sanlou quickly held him down and whispered: "Sixth brother, when the elders are talking, we juniors should not interrupt."

Cheng Tianjie disagreed and waved his hand: "I'm old and can't do it anymore, so I can only live with my eyesight."

Qi Lung smiled and said nothing.

Soon, one beautiful maid after another brought bowls and plates, and various delicacies were placed on the table, all of which Qi Long had never seen before.

"What is this?" Qi Long's chopsticks held a piece of crystal-like pink meat, which was lightly fragrant and mixed with the fragrance of herbs.

"Back to my uncle, this is a mountain deer raised by a Taoist. He has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years and feeds on mountain delicacies. This is deer loin. The meat is fragrant and sweet, and is extremely delicious."

"I'll try it."

Qi Long feasted on the hump of the fire camel, the roasted wings of the crane, the three fresh fishes outside the pass, the roasted red legs of the wild beast, etc. Not only did it taste great, but after eating, there was a trace of heat in the belly, which was visible to the naked eye.

The speed warms the internal organs.

According to legend, chefs outside the pass can seal the demonic power of monsters on delicacies, and eating them can also improve physical training. Soon, there were piles of dishes and bowls in front of Qi Long. He could eat more than he could eat by himself.

Ten strong men.

Such a gluttonous eating scene made several other people look at each other, and the fourth lady, who was the most polite, even had a look of contempt in her eyes.

Cheng Tianji smiled and said: "It's a blessing to be able to eat. It seems that the Marquis has suffered a lot in Guan Nei."

"No, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole followed, and almost couldn't come back." Xue Baohou looked at the other party sideways: "Brother Cheng doesn't know?"

"Haha, I know that I know a little bit, but brother, you can't help yourself when you are in the world, so you have to be considerate of my difficulties."

"hehe."

Qi Long sneered twice and continued eating and drinking.

Cheng Tianjie glanced at Mrs. Baimei, and this charming beauty immediately picked up the wine bottle and came close to Qi Long. Suddenly, a faint floral fragrance came over with moisture.

Qi Long suddenly felt a palm pressing on his thigh and pinched it twice.

What is this, a honey trap?

Qi Long remained calm and moved his palms to the other party's buttocks, massaging them twice as well. Madam Baimei just gave 'Xue Baohou' a charming look, without any temper at all.

Qi Lung glanced at the Sixth Young Master again, and sure enough, this handsome young man's face turned green when he was not home.

Even if you want to be green, it's not your turn to be green.

Qi Lung snorted: "Where is my woman?"

Mrs. Baimei said quickly: "Back to my uncle, Princess Xiaoman is playing in the castle. After the banquet is over, I will take her back to you."

'Xue Baohou' is a lustful ghost, but he is definitely a tyrant. After having a brief encounter with Mrs. Baimei, he immediately became serious and turned to Cheng Tianji: "Brother, my soldiers and horses

There have been a lot more recently, and we are short of equipment——"

"Haha, whoever is with you, my brother, give me the list later, and I will match it all for you."

"Thank you very much, brother."

'Xue Baohou' was relieved and no longer carried a gun or a stick when he spoke. When Cheng Tianji saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled even more on his face.

To be honest, even if the other party is a demigod, Cheng Tianji, as the 'Demon King of Guanzhong', is at most a peer, and it is completely impossible for him to be as groveling as he is now. He has guarded Guanzhong for hundreds of years and is the seven guardians.

The governor of the government also listened to orders but not to propaganda.

But the times are different. In less than ten years, the great catastrophe will begin. The original power structure will inevitably be subverted, and the protagonist of the great tribulation like the 'Son of the Dragon Vein' is the target of all forces, and he will not

Exception, the first to get the moon is the one near the water.

Cheng Tianji laughed and said, "We are all members of the family. This family banquet mainly involves announcing two things."

When will I become a member of your family? Qi Long muttered in his heart, put down his chopsticks, and waited for the other party to speak.

"The first thing is that my son-in-law has made great achievements on the Rust Front outside the Pass and will be transferred to Wuping Military Mansion to serve as a guerrilla general. My daughter will join her son-in-law in two days and go to Wuping Military Mansion together. Brother, this is

You have to help me take care of your territory."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Qi Lung said perfunctorily.

Guerrilla general, isn't this a military position that comes from the fifth rank? You must know that among the military ranks outside the pass, the fifth rank is a big hurdle. Only after passing this level can one be considered an officer who can truly lead troops to fight. Xue Baohou is just a rank from the fifth rank.

General Ranger, what great achievements has he made?

"Uncle, my husband narrowly escaped death several times on the Iron Rust Front and was almost killed by a demonic insect. Then he was transferred to the Wuping Military Mansion. He was seriously injured and asked my uncle to help him find a leisurely official position."

Cheng Qing bowed respectfully, moved a few steps, knocked his head on the ground, and said sincerely.

The Rust Front, Demonic Insect, that was the battle where Dajiu Mansion was lost. It is said that in order to protect Dajiu Mansion, the six major governor's houses all sent strong troops to support, so that's it.

"I understand. It's a trivial matter. When I turn around, I'll tell my adoptive father about it."

Qi Lung waved his hand, not paying attention.

It's not that he can lead troops to fight, even if he joins the inner circle of the Governor's Mansion, someone like the other party can only be regarded as high-level cannon fodder.

The sign of truly entering the circle of power is to be knighted in the Governor's Mansion. For example, Hong Xiaosi is the eleventh-ranked Doctor Wu, while Xue Baohou himself is the eighth-ranked Guannei Marquis.

Therefore, outsiders call him Marquis, not General. This is the real honorific title.

There are many captains or generals outside the pass who are not knighted, and there are also grandmasters. Only by being knighted can one be considered to have entered the system of the Grand Governor and Protectorate. At this point, not even Cheng Tianji can do anything about it.

Seeing Qi Long's immediate agreement, Cheng Qing was so happy that he even put aside his reserve and poured the wine himself to toast his 'uncle'.

"There is another happy thing," Cheng Tianji paused, "Since my brother and my daughter Cheng Li fell in love at first sight, I plan to marry my second daughter Cheng Li to him before he leaves Chengtian Castle, and she will be his first child.

The concubine of the ninth house, choose a day to get married."

A rare flash of surprise flashed through Qi Long, and he even forgot to drink the wine on his lips.

Two thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.

One is, old man Cheng is telling lies with his eyes open. I just peed his daughter two hours ago.

The other thing is, this is both my brother and my son-in-law. How should we calculate the seniority? Your family is so chaotic, and adding me will only add to the chaos.

But after Qi Long calmed down, he instantly understood what the other party meant, a political marriage.

The second lady of Chengtian Castle, the most powerful general in Guanzhong, who has a strong background in the Grand Governor's Palace and swallows dragon veins.

Judging from the background alone, the two parties are not an average match.

"Brother, you have to understand that you are different now. You can let go of some things if you can. You can learn from me, right? Now that you have become my son-in-law, Deputy Governor Hou and I will fully support you.

of."

Qi Long narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed: "What I'm trying to teach you is, I'll punish you with three cups of wine."

The two of them exchanged cups, and with Mrs. Baimei and the eldest son's persuasion, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Those who engage in politics are different from those who learn boxing. Warriors can be ruthless and cruel, but the best warriors must be passionate and sincere. But old fritters like Lord Cheng and Deputy Governor Hou have absolutely no political attributes.

Super human.

In the past, people could be sent to kill the godson, but after Xue Baohou devoured the dragon vein, he could definitely treat the godson as his biological son.

And Cheng Tianji's support is not just lip service. The amount of Cheng Li's betrothal gift alone is enough to stun Qi Lung, let alone one of the four iron god guards, a grand master, and a

Wan Jingrui escorted Miss Cheng Li north.

This is military support.

Soon, Qi Long got drunk, and was helped to a boudoir. When he opened the door, he saw an exotic beauty with blue eyes, a high nose, and exposed waist, pouting and bored. When he saw Qi Long, his eyes suddenly changed.

One light.

Qi Long threw her onto the bed without saying a word. Immediately, he took off her coat and was in a state of beauty...

Just after the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, the magic light in Qi Long's eyes suddenly disappeared, and Princess Yelu Xiaoman was lying on the bed with her clothes intact, sleeping soundly.

Political marriage is what politicians do.
