Chapter 204 The reception banquet
Dongfang Huiye thought about the real purpose of this person coming to the Southern Territory. Is it just to make money, or does he have other motives, or is he coming to Cheng Haiqian's territory just like him.
He pointed to the chair on one side and motioned for Wu to sit down, "Please tell me about this person in detail."
... ...
In the meeting hall on the other side, Qiu Jinbao squeezed the letter in his hand, then released it. He looked at the people in the hall, explained in a deep voice what was stated in the letter, and asked everyone to express their opinions.
Sitting in the hall were Chief Registrar He Renzhi, Deputy Commander Huang Ziren, Guard Commander Ding Cheng, Commander-in-Chief Guo Xiaojun, Guard School Lieutenant Li Guangshou and five commanders Yang Can, Yuanzu Lin, Ma Shi, Tong Minliang and Yuan Zhi. .
The emperor sent people over to inspect, and what they could say was that they could only make the person feel comfortable, get the things ordered done, and then send the person back to where he should go as soon as possible.
Everyone thought so, but General Qiu didn't think so in his heart. There was an uneasy feeling in his heart.
There was a moment of silence in the hall. You looked at me, I looked at you, and you glanced at each other to see who among the people sitting was the first to suggest something.
Qiu Jinbao looked at his group of people who spent the whole day doing nothing but doing nothing, and he became angry.
He slapped his big hand on the table and shouted: "Damn it, you screamed louder than anyone else when I lost one spiritual stone. Now that I have to come up with some ideas, you are all dumbfounded. Okay, you guys."
He has been guarding the town of Lawa for hundreds of years, and the court usually ignores them. They have to drag their feet in issuing military pay and receiving military honors. None of the soldiers guarding the city does not need money to live or resources to practice.
When they went into battle to kill the enemy, they didn't even have money for a coffin when the person died, which made the guarding soldiers feel disappointed.
Qiu Jin Bao's heart changed and he had to collect the protection tax from the people in the city.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this. You can't say that others have protected your personal safety and property, and you won't give them a cent of your hard-earned money.
The original intention was good, and everyone in the city paid the money. After appeasing the families of the dead soldiers, the city became more stable.
But later, the imperial court began to allocate funds to strengthen the city wall repair and defense projects, and military supplies followed suit. There were also more half-monster slaves in the city. Gradually, they found that using slaves for war did not require their own blood and sacrifice, and they could save the people in the city from handing them over. pension.
This protection of taxation and harvesting habits continued, and it became a small treasury for everyone. As time goes by, laziness and corruption prevail, and when people's hearts are eroded, everything begins to change.
They have also changed from the people's guardians to the people's 'blood-sucking insects'.
Later, these spiritual crystals could no longer satisfy their desires, and they began to secretly sell materials from the generals to the Southern Region in exchange for spiritual crystals and various resources.
Now the imperial court suddenly sent a financial governor to patrol. If they were found to have secretly collected people's taxes without reporting them and secretly sold court supplies to enrich their own pockets, they would not be able to chop off ten heads.
On the side, Chief He Renzhi said: "General, in our border area, the highest official position is usually the governor, but this time your Majesty sent a governor here. Is this to investigate something?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Jinbao became even more angry. He wanted to check something, but he didn't have a batch number in mind? Otherwise, why would I ask you to come here?
He held back a breath and said, "Well. What is it? Master He, please tell me."
"..." Hearing the question, He Renzhi also cursed in his heart: Didn't I just set off the atmosphere for you?
But after thinking about it, he finally dared not say it out loud. He said casually: "I think your Majesty just asked the governor to come to this border area to comfort us veterans."
"Comfort?" Everyone looked at him.
"That's right. It's been a few years since the last inspection. It's almost time to send someone here." He Ren said.
Ding Cheng, the guard's military officer, shook his head, "But I don't think it's that simple."
Qiu Jinbao lowered his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Oh, Ding Shenling, can you tell me?"
"I don't know, it's just a feeling."
"..." Everyone was speechless, it would be better not to say anything.
……
Everyone chattered and discussed for a long time, but there was no result. Qiu Jinbao pinched his eyebrows and asked everyone to prepare for it, and dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand.
With many years of experience, he felt that this visit was not that simple, but the person in the imperial city did not write a letter about it.
Unable to guess the outcome, we can only use troops to cover up the water and earth.
A few days later, everyone welcomed the governor from the imperial capital - Lord Tang Yunhui.
The visitor was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and one could tell at a glance that he came from a prominent family. He was handsome, noble and proud, and had a handsome face.
After some pleasantries and compliments, they were invited into the general's mansion. Everyone's expressions were solemn, and the routine reports were made one by one. After the formal question and answer, there was a reception banquet.
The reception banquet is also very particular. What kind of people come and what kind of banquet is served.
For a person who is loyal and brave, works hard day and night, and is dedicated to his duties, the banquet will definitely be a simple and ordinary meal; for such a dandy, arrogant son of a family, it will be an exquisite and grand banquet.
At first, everyone was still considerate and just toasted to each other politely. As the glasses were pushed and cups changed, the banquet gradually got into a good mood. Drinking, with an expression of joyful acceptance, everyone was no longer restrained after the exchange of glances, and the banquet was filled with people, and the conversation was lively.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of banquet, everyone left drunkenly.
Qiu Jinbao took Tang Yunhui, who was very drunk, to lie down and rest in an inner room of a quiet courtyard in the backyard, and then withdrew with a snicker.
He glanced at Tang Yunhui's two strong and unsmiling guards outside the door and left quickly.
As soon as the door closed, Dongfang Kaguya, who was lying on the bed pretending to be drunk, felt a pair of hands untying the jade belt around his waist.
"What do you mean, girl?"
Hearing that the man spoke clearly, unlike a drunken person, the woman moved her hands and timidly said: "My little girl Qiu Mengxue, I will accompany you tonight..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Yunhui turned sideways and held his head with one hand to look at this elegant and beautiful woman with a peach-like face and spring eyes. Her black hair fell down like a waterfall, just covering her fair and flawless naked body. On the jade body.
The old guy actually used his own daughter to do such a thing. He really didn't deserve to be a father.
"Girl, do you know what you are doing?"
Qiu Mengxue bit her red lips lightly, nodded slightly and said 'hmm'.
"...Now that I know, I will also tell you that if you do this, you will only have a romantic relationship with me. I will not be responsible for you and will not give you any promises or status, let alone be afraid of you taking advantage of it afterwards. Do you understand that this matter is used to blackmail and frame me?" Tang Yunhui said calmly.
These words are very straightforward and directly kill all the woman's unwanted thoughts.
"I..." Qiu Mengxue's pretty face turned red, and tears suddenly flowed out, making people feel pitiful.
Dongfang Huiye was not surprised by this kind of thing. He turned over and sat up in disapproval, about to leave.
The woman suddenly hugged his waist from behind and cried: "Thank you, Master, for telling this to Xue'er first, instead of deceiving her with clever words. Xue'er is deeply relieved... But if Master tonight, If he leaves without touching Xue'er, his father will definitely think that Xue'er is a useless person, and then he will randomly find a husband to marry Xue'er."
When Qiu Mengxue suddenly hugged her, Dongfang Huiye's body reacted instinctively, and there was a sharp blade in her hand. Hearing what she said, he frowned and became even more disgusted with Qiu Jinbao.
"I understand. You can rest. I will stay here tonight." After saying that, he pulled away the woman's delicate hand and walked to the chair outside the screen to sit down.
Qiu Mengxue: "..."
For a long time, Qiu Mengxue wore a thin and transparent gauze dress and slowly walked up to Tang Yunhui. The cold and soft moonlight fell on her graceful body, shining with a seductive luster, adding to her hazy charm. Attract attention.
She knelt on her knees, stretched out her slender hands to untie Dongfang Huiye's robe, and said shyly: "I don't know Xue'er's future, but in comparison, Xue'er is more willing to accompany you, sir... "
It was obvious that the woman took a lot of courage to say this. The shy blush on her cheeks has a strange color, and the crystal clear tears in the corners of her eyes make people feel even more loving.
Dongfang Huiye raised his eyebrows slightly. He originally thought that what he said before would scare the girl away, but he didn't expect that the girl would do this.
He said calmly: "Did you really understand what I said earlier?"
Qiu Mengxue nodded.
"Don't nod, say it."
Looking at that cold and handsome face, Qiu Mengxue gritted her teeth and said: "...Xue'er understands what the young master said before. It's just a casual relationship with the young master, nothing more."
"Well, have you figured it out?"
"I understand."
"Okay. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"...Yes, sure."
Dongfang Kaguya grabbed her hand with a serious expression and asked word by word: "You will never regret it?"
"No regrets."
"..." After hearing the woman's answer, Dongfang Huiye sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, and his eyes were filled with frivolity and arrogance, which made him completely different from the one before.
"As the girl wishes!"
He picked up Qiu Mengxue by the waist, walked to the bed, and put the beauty down.
The pads of his slender fingers gently swept from her cheek to her chest, brushed away the hair and gauze on her chest, leaned over and whispered softly in her ear: "Did all the old people in the mansion teach you this?"
That voice was like a magic sound, beautiful, sexy and full of mystery, even with fatal temptation, bewitching the mind and making people's hearts flutter; his pair of dark purple pupils were deep and charming.
"Taught, taught..." Qiu Mengxue was extremely shy, her breathing began to become rapid, and her delicate hands, which had nowhere to rest, couldn't help but press her heart that was beating out of her chest.
"Yes." Dongfang Huiye's lips outlined a charming curve, "Don't be afraid, I will treat you gently..."
Qiu Mengxue closed her eyes, feeling the warm and wonderful feeling brought by his fingertips sliding over every inch of her skin.
This night, Luoping was surrounded by night fragrance, and his body was secretly wet with fragrant sweat.
Little did she know that this would be the most unforgettable and beautiful night in her life.
Dongfang Kaguya is by no means a person who lusts after women. Firstly, he knows what will happen to such a woman who cannot bring benefits to the family; secondly, he simply thinks that love between men and women is normal behavior, and it is about love between you and me. Desire.
Since we both have a good impression of each other, let's make our relationship clear. No one needs to be responsible for the other, and everyone can just ask for what they need.
Dongfang Kaguya respects and loves women, and will definitely give them the dignity they deserve. Even if the woman regrets something, he will never force her.
After that, Dongfang Huiye temporarily lived in a mansion arranged by Qiu Jinbao, and Qiu Mengxue stayed behind to take care of his daily life during this period of inspection.
As for the inspection, I just took him for a casual look, and then went to various restaurants and restaurants in Lava City to eat and have fun.
Dongfang Kaguya accepted it happily, as if he was a fellow-minded person like them. The deputy commander-in-chief Huang Ziren and the commander-in-chief Guo Mingxuan looked at each other in shock.
Four beautiful women with beautiful faces and peach faces walked out of the perfume shop across the street. They had happy smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be praising each other for the good things they bought. Every frown and every smile reveals a woman's talents and virtues.
"What are Master Tang looking at?" He Renzhi followed Tang Yunhui's gaze to look at the four women across the street, and smiled thoughtfully: "The four women are all concubines of Yu Shilang of Yulingmen. If Adults like..."
Dongfang Kaguya waved his hand, "I am not interested in other people's things. I am just curious that Ushiro can handle the relationship between the female family members of the house so well. I admire you very much!"
Speaking of the female relatives in the back house, which man with a large number of wives and concubines would not be troubled by the jealous affairs in the back house.
He Renzhi twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Master Tang said that, it is true. This Yu Shilang really has two brushes."
In fact, the relationship between these female relatives is harmonious because they are both poor people and have lost precious things, so they can relate to each other. When they were desperate, it was Lingling who gave them hope and the freedom of respect and dignity. life, so they know how to cherish this hard-won life better than others.
The women's coachman also bought some jars of good wine from the restaurant, and happened to see an unknown dandy boy and a dozen of his subordinates teasing the ladies of his family. Without saying a word, he flew forward and knocked everyone to the ground with three strikes.
The dandy covered his face and shouted that he would kill them, but the coachman shouted coldly: "Qingtianbairi, you dare to molest the four ladies of the Yulingmen Sect Master, I, the Yuling Sect, are waiting for you."
When the driver announced his home address, the handsome man suddenly lost his temper and was helped by his men to escape in despair.
What I saw today is just one of them. Dongfang Kaguya once saw a half-demon orc who went to a store in Dongshi to buy something, and was kicked out of the store by the shop owner, who kept swearing in his mouth.
At first, the half-demon beast man held back his anger, but as the store owner continued to insult him, he also insulted Ushiro. As a result, this move completely made the half-demon beast man become angry, and he started fighting with the store clerk, scaring the store owner. Hiding in the store, several waiters in the store were also seriously injured. When the people from Yulingmen heard about it and came over, the two parties negotiated and compensated the injured with some spiritual crystals and left.
A few days later, I heard that the store owner moved away with his family, and the store became the property of Yulingmen, who bought it with money.
Nowadays, when half-demon orcs wearing the Yulingmen waistband buy things or eat, store owners don't dare to stop them.
