Zhong Qiyun gave half a year, and Xue Xingyan promised to think about it, this is the only negotiation result between the two female masters. Otherwise, Zhong Qiyun would not have spared Gao Longzang temporarily.

As for half a year later, what if Gao Longzang's side "can't figure it out"? Zhong Qiyun also deliberately avoided this possibility. There was no way, Zhong Qiyun also felt that this matter was a headache, even more than Gao Longzang. So, this is an instinctive avoidance choice deep in her heart.

But she was also afraid that Gao Longzang's side would drag on endlessly, so she insisted on half a year at most. The daughter is hers, and she doesn't want her daughter to be unable to marry at home, and slowly become an old girl who stays in her parents' house.

In fact, if Gao Longzang and Xue Xingyan really put on a faceless posture, if they had to refuse to marry, it would be difficult for the Song family to help them. I can't beat them, and I can't beat them even better than the background.

However, this is human society after all, not a pure jungle animal world. Since you are human, you have to be reasonable. Especially those who mix rivers and lakes, they should also take into account the morality of the rivers and lakes, which is the way.

"What the hell is going to do?" Gao Longzang looked at Xue Xingyan cluelessly, as if he was asking for help.

Xue Xingyan shook his head: "Mom is okay...... Forget it, isn't there still half a year, take one step at a time. Don't nest up here, you're old ...... out there Qin Wenmo's inauguration ceremony is about to begin, let's take a look. Some sects are still invited by us, so we have to go and say hello and say a few words. ”

Oh...... Gao Long Zangmu got up, followed Xue Xingyan out of the room, and went straight to the large conference room next to him.

In the large conference room, there were already a lot of people sitting in the front rows. This is the Praetorian Guard, and it is a state violence agency, so it is impossible to rank heroes like Shuibo Liangshan, and even put a big bowl of wine and a large piece of meat on it. The so-called participation in this inauguration ceremony is nothing more than a procedure to ask the superiors to officially appoint Qin Wenmo as the deputy director of the Praetorian Security Bureau in front of the people in the rivers and lakes. After all, the Jianghu people are precisely the "business objects" of the Praetorian Guard.

On the left half of the venue are the seats of the Praetorian Guard's internal staff. Almost everyone at home was present, except for those confidential positions that needed to be on duty. One by one, they were dressed neatly, and the stars on their shoulders were shining. These people, about fifty or sixty in all.

And Gao Longzang noticed that Qi Qianyan, Chu Yuanxi, and Zhao Taichu were also sitting in this half, and they were in the first row of this half. Even on their shoulders, they all carried four gold stars!

Gao Longzang understood that this showed that these family heads were all elders of the Praetorian Guard Bureau, but they usually did not reveal this identity.

Moreover, the positions of several of them are even in front of the heads of the five and eight districts, although everyone has four stars on their shoulders. For example, Chu Yuantao and Qi Canyang all sat in the second row on the left.

But after a while, Qi Canyang was about to leave this seat, because what was waiting for him was the position of "assistant to the director". As soon as this appointment is made, he will sit on the podium instead.

Assistant to the director, the position is lower than that of the deputy director, but there is a vague taste of the bureau leader, this is a position considered by the Night God Hou after the compromise, just to balance the major giants.

……

On the right side of the venue, there were all guests invited by the Praetorian Guard.

The Song family, the Lu family, and the Qingcheng faction, which are the big families among the three families and four factions, are naturally arranged in the first row of the right half. And Xue Xingyan, who represents Feng Daoren, and Gao Longzang, who represents Yipintang, are also in the first row.

As for the heads or representatives of the remaining ten or so second- and third-rate sects, they were arranged in the second row. Wherever you go, it will be arranged like this, and no one will object.

And with these heads or representatives of the entourage, naturally there are more, and a head usually brings two or three retinues. So, these about fifty people, arranged in the back.

There were fifty or sixty personnel from the Praetorian Guard Bureau, fifty or sixty personnel from the rivers and lakes, and more than 100 people gathered together.

……

Before the meeting began, Xue Xingyan and Gao Longzang were very busy, and they had to greet each other one by one. After all, many Jianghu sects were personally invited by them, and they were also half masters. Even when he met the head of the Qingcheng faction, the white-bearded old man, Gao Longzang had to respectfully salute his disciples, and respectfully called the other party "uncle". Because Xue Xingyan was sent by Qingcheng, the head of the Qingcheng faction is Xue Xingyan's senior brother.

They were finally seated, and Xue Xing's eyes happened to be next to Zhong Qiyun, which was just like intentional. In fact, when the Praetorian Security Bureau conference staff arranged this, it was only because it seemed more appropriate for two strong women to sit together, and they didn't think much about anything else.

The two women said a few words, each with their own thoughts. Gao Longzang next to him looked at it and felt that the atmosphere was still quite awkward, so he deliberately turned his head. And just at this moment, Yu Guang seemed to see someone staring at him behind him. Turning his head, he saw that it was Song Xiyu who was sitting in the third row, and his two beautiful eyes were looking straight at Gao Longzang's back.

Of course, when Gao Longzang turned his head, Song Xiyu immediately lowered his head and took a pen to write and draw on the paper.

Gao Longzang turned around silently and sighed helplessly in his heart.

……

Finally, this inauguration ceremony has officially begun!

Today's inauguration ceremony is not the same as the official inauguration ceremony in the military, and there is a big difference. Although it still maintains its seriousness, the various procedures seem to be a little special, after all, the Praetorian Guard is a special organization.

There are five seats on the main podium, one of which is empty. In addition, the Night God Marquis also avoided this public ceremony.

Sitting in the center is a middle-aged man in a regular military uniform. Note that it's a regular military uniform, not a uniform, which resembles a military uniform from the Praetorian Guard.

Two on either side, wearing the same military uniform. These three people are from the higher management of the Praetorian Guard.

This also shows that the Praetorian Guard is indeed a military institution. They are just a special group of military men, but they are all real military men.

Among the three, the one who took the lead sat in the middle, with two large gold stars shining brightly on his shoulders. This is not a star on the epaulettes of the Praetorian Guard, but a star on the regular uniforms of the whole army. These two big Venus mean that this person's identity is a lieutenant general!

Lieutenant General, this is a very high-ranking general. Even if he is a field army commander or a provincial military district commander, he is generally just a major general with a star on his shoulders. Therefore, the high level of the lieutenant general in front of him can be imagined.

The other two officers have the rank of colonel with two bars and four small stars, which is roughly equivalent to the rank of division commander in the army.

As for Qin Wenmo, he sat next to the military commander and sat in the middle next to the lieutenant general. This also shows that Qin Wenmo's actual rank may be between a lieutenant general and a colonel. Could it be that Qin Wenmo is now equivalent to a major general-level figure?

And what made Gao Longzang pay the most attention to the audience was the special epaulette on Qin Wenmo's shoulder. He had seen this epaulettes, not a big Venus or a small Venus, but a solemn national emblem.
