Chapter 33: The Birthday Party (2)
Except for the people in Yinta City who were present, the other people in the outer city didn't know the origin of Cheng Lei and Xi Ling at all. This is all because since the official establishment of the Liedong Federation, the exchanges between Silver Tower City and other city-states in the Liedong Federation have become frequent and close, because Silver Tower City is not like the Lion King Base, which has a strong military force to guard, and Duke Dozan needs to make more allies with the power of other city-states.
Duke Dozan celebrated his 60th birthday, and many of the city-lords would not attend, but they all sent their younger generation to congratulate Duke Dozan on his birthday. Most of these young people are between the ages of 20 and 30, and many of them are not married.
The leaders of all the forces in Yinta City were all at the banquet tables specially arranged for the people in the city, while those from other city-states who came to celebrate their birthdays were arranged at other banquet tables, each with its own distinct distinction. This is all because the leaders of the power in Silver Tower City are all some big gentry and big landlords and merchants, while the younger generation of the city-states are the children of nobles who are above the top, and they are not at the same level at all, so Duke Dozan deliberately did not arrange them in one place.
When Cheng Lei and Xi Ling entered the banquet hall, the young generation of those city-states were boiling, of course they were not boiling for Cheng Lei, they were coveted because they saw Xi Ling. Xi Ling was originally a stunning beauty, and today she wore a red dress that was absolutely eye-catching, and her whole figure was displayed, how could she not let those young people be as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!
"Who is this big beauty, why haven't I seen it? It's so beautiful and sexy, if I can marry her home, I won't go out every day. ”
"You're coming. You don't look at what you look like. A graceful and graceful boy like me can be worthy of such a beautiful beauty! ”
"I don't look good, but I'm sincere, and if there is a way, sincerity is spiritual. Sincerity to the golden stone for the opening ......"
"You two are already married, do you want such a beautiful beauty to be your side room? It's better for me to marry her. Because I haven't married yet! ”
“……”
For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and those noble children were originally very unhappy about being sent to participate in the sixtieth birthday of Duke Dozan this time. They are all young people, and it is better to celebrate the birthday of a dead old man who is over half a hundred years old, so it is better to play at home or go to the Qinglou for a walk! If it weren't for the words of the city lords, these people really didn't want to come.
However, they did not see the good intentions of the city lords, who wanted to let their sons come out to communicate with others, so as to lay the foundation for them to take charge of their own city-states or forces in the future. But these noble children are good, they are listless like frosted eggplants, and they can't arouse any interest, but after seeing Xiling, they are all excited as if they have seen a rare treasure.
They had already paid attention to the family members brought by the others in the Silver Tower Banquet Hall, although there were also many beautiful women in them. But compared with Xiling, a great beauty who captivates the country and the city, those women have no taste.
"Don't you all be there, don't you see the guy with that beautiful woman? That guy is so handsome, and he is wearing a military uniform, he must be an officer who doesn't know which force, I think he and that big beauty may not have a simple relationship! ”
Only then did those aristocratic children notice Cheng Lei who came in with Xi Ling, and Cheng Lei's heroic posture in a military uniform made them feel a little ashamed of themselves. However, they immediately thought that Cheng Lei was so young that at most, he was just a petty officer in Yinta City or a certain force, how could he compare to their noble status.
So will the beautiful beauties marry a petty officer, or will they marry their successors to these city-states or forces? That, of course, is self-evident. Their successors are more advantageous and more suitable.
Thinking of this, their chests stood up again, some contempt and some hostility to Cheng Lei, and in their hearts they already regarded Cheng Lei as an imaginary rival. If Cheng Lei knew about this, I am afraid he would cry and laugh, but when he came in with Xi Ling, he actually became the imaginary enemy of those people. Who did he provoke!
Cheng Lei asked Xiling as he walked: "Xiling, many people on the table over there who don't know are looking at you, do you know them?" ”
Xi Ling glanced at the noble children. I saw that they were all looking at themselves, looking like. He shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, I don't know where it is." Dare to look at the old lady like this in Yinta City, I think they are impatient! ”
Cheng Lei hurriedly said: "Today is Duke Duozan's 60th birthday, don't lose your temper." Suppress your temper and be obedient! ”
Xi Ling pouted at this time, and said reluctantly: "Okay, listen to you, if it's usual, I'll send someone to throw these guys out one by one immediately!" Make them so disgusting, huh! ”
This Miss Xiling is really domineering, those people just looked at her a few times, and then pointed a few times, she was about to throw them all out. Either it is better to mess with villains than women, especially a woman like Xiling who has the ability and a bad temper, provoking her is tantamount to looking for death. However, Cheng Lei likes this kind of character, because he himself is a person who likes to be happy and revenge.
The two of them went straight to the banquet table of the various forces in Yinta City and sat down, and when the people of the various forces saw that it was Cheng Lei coming, they all got up to greet each other and greeted them warmly.
"Mr. Cheng, it's been a long time since I've seen you more heroic, I wanted to visit you yesterday, but I don't know where you live......"
"Mr. Cheng, come back and stay for a few more days this time, I just built a manor, and I sincerely invite Mr. Cheng to come over and have a fun."
"Hello Mr. Cheng, our firm has just bought a coal mine in Balunou at the junction of Balunou and our Liedong Federation, if your cement plant is interested in using coal, we can cooperate in depth......"
Everyone took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close to Cheng Lei and say a few polite words to Cheng Lei, all because Cheng Lei is now the most powerful figure among the major forces of the Liedong Federation. The strength of the Lion King Army is there, and there is also a large cement factory as the backbone of the economy. Now the Lion King Base can be said to be the largest force in the Liedong Federation other than Daheng City.
Of course, Cheng Lei also greeted those people one by one, although now Cheng Lei has long ceased to regard these people from various forces in Yinta City as opponents. But when the Lion King Squadron was still in Silver Tower City before, they had more or less friendship with each other. Cheng Lei looked at the familiar faces, and he also felt a little cordial.
In the end, Cheng Lei and Xi Ling both sat next to Xi Lin. The guards who followed Cheng Lei put the boxes of birthday cakes at the officials who specialized in receiving gifts. Those aristocratic children saw that Cheng Lei was just holding a few boxes of birthday cakes to congratulate, they were all a little disdainful, which of them didn't bring one or a few expensive gifts, or antiques or gold beads, of course, they scoffed at Cheng Lei for only bringing birthday cakes.
At this time, Cheng Qian and the deputy head of the Wild Wolf Regiment also came, first gave a military salute to Cheng Lei, and then Cheng Lei said, "Go!" They went to find a place to sit down. Xi Ling glanced at Cheng Lei quite meaningfully, and the meaning was very clear, that is, she didn't see that you were quite strict in governing the army. Cheng Lei also gave her a look back. It means that the meaning is so-so. There is a special tacit understanding between the two people, and the meaning of each other is understood in seconds.
Those noble sons and daughters sat down after seeing the two officers go to Cheng Lei to give a military salute, and began to taunt Cheng Lei: "Yo, what a big official this is, someone has to salute him when he comes to celebrate his birthday, the score is big enough!" ”
When the children of the nobles saw Cheng Lei sitting on the table on the side of Yinta City, they regarded him as an officer in Yinta City. They are all the successors of the city-states, and of course they don't take a small officer seriously.
"That's right. This score, my father doesn't have such a big score as him, and he actually shows it in front of so many of us! The son of a certain city lord said very angrily.
"The villain has a will! No, it's just a petty officer. Where to go, at best, it's just a villain! The other said with great disdain.
At this time, the gift officer began to chant the gift: "Daheng City, a pair of jade with two feet." A jewel robe, eight pairs of maids...... The MixC. 100 Western refined rifles and 2 gold diamonds...... Silverstone City's green pine is ageless, a picture of ...... "Everyone knows that Silverstone City is now on the front line of war. So it's hard enough to be able to give a gift.
Then there are gifts from the major city-states, and there are always a lot of them. After reading the gifts of the major city-states and forces, the gift officer began to read the silver tower city, and the first one to start was of course the Lion King Army: "The Lion King Army, three boxes of birthday cakes ......" As soon as these words came out, those noble children burst into laughter, and the dignified Lion King Army actually sent three boxes of life cakes to be put on the table.
But they just couldn't help laughing, everyone knew the power of the Lion King Army, and they didn't want to spread it to the ears of the Lion King Army, so everyone immediately held back, and they still had this stamina. At this time, the gift officer continued: "One reinforcement regiment, a total of 679 people, including nine armored tanks. 300 tons of cement and 500 guns of various colors......"
Of course, Cheng Lei knew in his heart, the cement and guns in the back were all sent by Zheng Bin, the two of them had never communicated at all, and Cheng Lei was very happy that Zheng Bin was able to think so thoughtfully.
Now it was the turn of those noble children to keep silent, reinforcements, cement, so many guns...... The Lion King's Army is a big deal! At this time, all the gifts of the city-states were compared, but then those people were also relieved, how could they compare to the relationship between the Lion King Army and the Silver Tower City! Moreover, the strength of the Lion King's army is beyond doubt, and the city-states are naturally incomparable.
"Wait, that's not right!" A noble kid said with a frown at this time.
The others immediately asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"The first gift list of the Lion King Army is three boxes of life cakes, didn't the three boxes of life cakes be brought by that person?" The noble son pointed in the direction of Cheng Lei.
These people all understood, just now they laughed at Cheng Lei for only bringing so many boxes of birthday cakes, but now it's good, they are actually from the Lion King Army, and there are so many gifts that have suppressed the forces of the major city-states. The six or seven hundred reinforcements and armored tanks alone were not at all comparable to the gifts of all the city-states combined. Because this is a time of war, soldiers and advanced weapons are worth much more than all the jewelry.
"That guy is just an officer of the Lion King's army, can he compare to the identity of us children of the family? You must know that we are going to inherit our city-state, and we will all be the masters of the city-state or various forces in the future! He's just a little officer, aren't we as good as him? At this time, a slightly older aristocratic child said.
The others chimed in, and one of them said, "Yes, a small officer, even an officer of the Lion King's army, is nothing in front of us!" Where is he worthy of that big beauty, I have to decide that big beauty! ”
"Don't rob me, that big beauty is mine! When I get back, I'll find someone to propose marriage for me! ”
"Joke, of course everyone has a chance for such a beautiful beauty, why do you say that what is yours is yours! I really don't believe in this evil, and I'll propose marriage after I go back! ”
“……”
For a while, everyone began to talk about it again, and no one was convinced by each other, because they all wanted to marry Xiling. Such a beautiful and stunning beauty marries home, not only has a light on her face, but she can also enjoy it herself, and it is very beautiful to think about!
At this moment, a person suddenly spoke: "No, this person is a little familiar, I must have seen him somewhere." Where is it? I remember being very impressed with his ......"
Everyone dared not ignore what this person said, because he was the younger brother of Mo Goda of Daheng City, and one of the future successors of Daheng City, and he was also one of the current supreme commanders of the army of Daheng City, and his name was Robert.
"General Robert, what is this man doing? Isn't he just a petty officer of the Lion King Army, how can you be so impressed by him? ”
"That's right, General Robert, looking at his age, this person is also a mid-level officer of the Lion King Army, your memory is really good!" It's a joke that Robert actually remembers such useless little people.
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, they were not laughing at Robert, but laughing Since Cheng Lei has no background at all, then they have the confidence to approach the big beauty.
"No, no, no...... Who is coming, where have you seen it......" Suddenly, Robert patted his head: "This is not what we saw last time when we convened a meeting of all the city-states in Daheng City, Mr. Cheng Lei!" ”
"Mr. Cheng Lei?" Those noble children didn't understand for a while.
At this time, the son of the Duke of Bart in Vientiane City said with some palpitations: "Mr. Cheng Lei of the Lion King Army, the leader of the Lion King Army and the Lion King Base...... He was a little glad that he didn't say anything excessive with those people just now, otherwise it would be terrible if the words were heard in the ears of people with a heart.
"What?"
"How so? Is he the leader of the Lion King's Army? ”
"How is this possible, he didn't say it when he came......"
"Do you still need to write the words "leader of the Lion King Army" on the door of people's heads?"
Everyone couldn't adapt to this gap for a while, they were all surprised and surprised, the leader of the Lion King Army, this is an unsurpassable existence in the eyes of everyone in the Liedong Federation, and he is also the idol in the hearts of most of the noble children, it's good now, they have been satirizing their idol for a long time!
