Several elite legions were going to the imperial capital by land, and the metropolitan governor was sick and naturally couldn't travel long distances, so the metropolitan governor Xiao Ke and Qin Que, Duan Canglong, Chen Ning and other henchmen took a tiger special plane and flew straight from Vermilion Bird City to Qinglong City.

Eight hours later, the plane finally arrived in Qinglong City.

This was the first time Chen Ning came to Qinglong City, but he was still stunned by the majestic walls and prosperous scene of Qinglong City.

Qinglong City is the largest metropolis in China, five times larger than Vermilion Bird City, with a population of nearly 200 million.

As soon as the special plane landed at the airport, countless soldiers in bright military uniforms appeared to block the entire airport, and countless high-ranking officers, in various vehicles, appeared at the airport to pick up the governor.

Chen Ning and Kan Jing, as the Metropolitan Governor and his entourage got off the special plane, Chen Ning noticed that on the empty airport, in addition to the guards and honor guards, all of them were densely packed with senior officers, among which there were four old men, wearing marshal robes, which were particularly eye-catching.

These four people are Mu Tian, Fu Tianlong, Zhou Qianghui, and Wang Boting.

Behind the four generalissimos there are still thousands of officers standing densely, with different military ranks, generals and school officers, Chen Ning can't help but think of a joke: In the bustling imperial capital, just throw a brick, and nine times out of ten, you can hit the officer.

In addition to countless officers, Chen Ning also noticed that there were many other nobles who came to pick up the airport at the scene, and among the noble crowd, Chen Ning also saw a familiar face, which was the eldest princess of the royal family, Jiangling.

Getting off the plane, Xiao Ke, the governor of the capital, whispered to Chen Ning to follow me on the left side, not leaving an inch.

When Chen Ning heard this, he didn't dare to disobey his orders, and honestly followed Xiao Ke's side.

Chen Ning has a tall figure and a major general's uniform, which makes him, who is already very handsome, even more eye-catching.

At this time, he followed Xiao Ke inch by his side, so that all the attention of the scene was cast on him at once.

Chen Ning was slightly uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, but he knew that the Metropolitan Governor was deliberately trying to build momentum for him, so that the powerful people in the imperial capital would know him. Chen Ning's waist followed straight to the left and right of the Grand Duke, like the personal guard of the Grand Duke.

Sure enough, many people whispered about the new-faced officer beside the Metropolitan Governor, and then they all knew that this handsome man was the dazzling new star who had recently risen strongly in the army, Chen Ning.

The Metropolitan Governor took Chen Ning and others down from the special plane, from the road paved with the red carpet, through the guard of honor, to the four generalissimos and others.

The four generalissimos led all the officers and soldiers on the scene to salute Xiao Ke in unison, and then Mu Tian took the lead and shook hands with Xiao Ke affectionately: "Metropolitan Governor, you can be counted as coming back, you don't return for a day, and the military department will not have a metropolitan governor in charge for a day, and we old men will not be at ease for a day!"

Xiao Ke shook hands with Mu Tian and said with a smile: "Hehe, Mu Shuai, you have all worked hard in my absence. ”

Mu Tian secretly injected a powerful force into Xiao Ke's palm, testing Xiao Ke's bottom line, and in an instant, Xiao Ke's face turned a little pale. He was seriously injured, but he couldn't resist Mu Tian's strong dark energy.

Chen Ning and Qin Que beside Xiao Ke found the same at the same time, Qin Que and Chen Ning quietly stretched out their hands at the same time, supporting Xiao Ke, and at the same time inputting energy together to help the Metropolitan Governor resist Mu Tian's dark energy.

Mu Tian didn't really want to hurt Xiao Ke, he just wanted to see if the Metropolitan Governor's injuries were serious?

Therefore, when he saw Xiao Ke's pale face, he knew that Xiao Ke's internal injuries were very serious, so he didn't bother to compete with Qin Que and Chen Ning, let go of the hand he shook with the Metropolitan Governor, and said with a smile: "It's not hard, these are all the internal affairs of us old men." ”

After Mu Tian finished speaking, he gave Fu Tianlong and the others beside him a smug look.

Fu Tianlong and the others all understood, knowing that Xiao Ke's injury was very serious, and several old men had smiles in their eyes, because they knew that Xiao Ke was so seriously injured that he was no longer qualified for the position of Grand Governor, and he had to abdicate to make way for Xian.

Then the day that the old men had been waiting for for a long time would finally come, and the people from their own camp would be placed in the position of Grand Governor, and then the empire would be decided by the four of them in the future, and no one would be able to compete with them anymore.

Xiao Ke shook hands with Mu Tian and suffered a little loss, but he didn't get angry, because he had long expected this kind of thing to happen.

Therefore, he smiled like a person who was okay at this time, and then introduced Chen Ning to Mu Tian next to him: "Mu Shuai, introduce to you, this is my proud protégé and a newly promoted major general in the army, Chen Ning!"

After Xiao Ke finished speaking, he turned to Chen Ning and said, "Chen Ning, haven't you seen Mu Shuai yet?"

When Chen Ning heard this, he gave a military salute to Mu Tian, and said in a deep voice: "Mu Shuai is good!"

Mu Tian set his eyes on Chen Ning's face, he remembered Chen Ning, as if he was inspecting the southern provinces, he saw Chen Ning once in the Blue Bird Training Camp, that time it was Chen Ning and Shi Yu decisive battle, Chen Ning killed Shi Yu at level 6 with level 4 strength, leaving an impression on Mu Tian.

Mu Tian squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Ning: "I remember you, you were a student of the Blue Bird Training Base at the beginning, but I didn't expect that in two years, you have been promoted from a recruit to a major general, and the future is terrifying!"

Chen Ning said calmly: "The chiefs are just cultivating, and their subordinates don't dare to take credit." ”

Xiao Ke smiled: "We are all old, and in the future, it will be Chen Ning, the world of your young people, don't be arrogant, the empire will rely on you in the future!"

When Chen Ning heard Xiao Ke's words, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, there were more powerful military figures in the empire on the scene, and most of the governors said this to attract hatred to him!

However, Chen Ning also knew that Xiao Ke was now hinting to Mu Tian and others that even if he abdicated and made way for Xian, he would also put Chen Ning in the position of the governor.

Xiao Ke shook hands with Fu Tianlong and the others one by one, and introduced Chen Ning to other people, except for the people in Xiao Ke's camp, the four generalissimos did not have a good face for Chen Ning.

Finally, after the welcome ceremony, Xiao Ke and Mu Tian and his party took a vehicle and returned to the center of the imperial capital, that is, the military aircraft institute of Qinglong City.

There is a royal palace in Qinglong City, but it is where the members of the royal family live, and the office headquarters of the military department is in the Military Aircraft Academy.

Countless policies and orders regarding the Huaxia Empire were issued from the Military Aircraft Academy, and the Metropolitan Governor, the Four Generalissimos, the Eight Generalissimos and other cabinet members generally worked here, which can be said to be the core of Huaxia's power.

When the Governor returned, the cabinet members convened a meeting that afternoon.

Chen Ning, Qin Que and others are not eligible to participate.

Chen Ning and Kan Jing were temporarily arranged to stay in a five-star guest house under the Military Aircraft Academy, where they ate, drank and lived for free, waiting for the call from above.

After Chen Ning settled down in the guest house, he changed into cheap ordinary clothes, and then went out alone.

He hailed a taxi on a busy street, and then ordered a taxi to take him to Zhongshun Commercial Bank.

Zhongshun Commercial Bank is a branch of Liujia Commercial Bank in the imperial capital, and the shopkeeper is called Liu Shangmin.

Liu Shangmin is a middle-aged man in his forties, who looks white and chubby and amiable, and when he heard that Chen Ning was coming, he hurriedly came out to entertain him.

Chen Ning didn't talk nonsense to Liu Shangmin, and said directly: "Your young lady Liu Ruyan, let you help take care of a mother and daughter secretly, where are they now, take me to meet them now!"

"Yes, General Chen, I'll prepare the car now!"

"Hmm!"

Boom, the sky suddenly thundered, and it didn't take long for a torrential rain to fall.

In the Blue Agate Western Restaurant, a little girl with pink carvings is sitting in front of the piano, skillfully playing a song of Beethoven's "To Alice".

When she finished playing the last note, the sound in the restaurant suddenly rang out enthusiastically.

The little girl, who was about six years old, stood up, pinched the corners of her skirt with both hands, and bowed slightly to everyone at the scene.

Then she stepped down from the stage, walked over to a table next to her, and asked with a smile, "Mom, how am I playing?"

This little girl is Chen Ning's daughter, Chen Xiaoguo, but she has long been changed by Zhang Qian and is now called Zhang Xiaoguo.

Zhang Qian was wearing a gorgeous evening dress, dressed like a noble young woman, very gorgeous, she opened her hands and hugged her daughter, kissed her daughter on the forehead, and said with a smile: "It plays very well, it deserves to be a small fruit." ”

There were also a few aristocratic women and a few aristocratic men at the same table, as well as two children, and it seemed that Zhang Qian's mother and daughter were having dinner with friends.

Everyone praised Xiaoguo for playing the piano well, and a man in a white suit took out a receipt, handed it to Xiaoguo, and said to Zhang Qian with a smile: "Xiaoguo, didn't you tell your mother a few days ago that you wanted to buy a grand piano? Uncle helped you choose a top-notch piano, and asked the store to deliver the goods to your house, and you will be able to play the piano at home in the future, Xiaoguo." ”

Zhang Xiaoguo said in surprise: "Really!"

A noble lady beside the man in the white suit smiled and said, "Of course it's true, your Uncle Wang Feng can still lie to you?" He not only gave you a grand piano, but also a Steinway brand, worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, your Uncle Wang is very good to you and your mother, right?"

Zhang Qian heard that the piano that Wang Feng gave to her daughter was worth more than 100,000 gold coins, and frowned slightly: "Wang Shao, this piano is too expensive, I can't accept it." ”

Wang Feng is a wealthy family of the royal family in Qinglong City, he is handsome and handsome, young and golden, and he has no good impression of any beauty in his twenties, but he was fascinated by Zhang Qian, who has children, and has recently launched a crazy offensive against Zhang Qian.

He smiled and said to Zhang Qian: "I never take back the things I give, if Miss Zhang is not willing to accept the gift, then throw the piano on the street, I don't care." ”

Zhang Qian just wanted to speak, but suddenly her expression suddenly became extremely shocked.

Because the door of the western restaurant opened, a man wearing cheap clothes and getting wet came in from the outside, and was standing at the door, gently shaking off the rain on his body, looking like a homeless man who ran in to hide from the rain.

But Zhang Qian recognized at a glance that this chicken-like man was her ex-husband Chen Ning.
