Chapter 34: Birthday Party (3)
"How is that possible? How could Leader Cheng be so young, although I didn't see the Leader of the Process, but how could he be about the same age as our fathers, how could this be Leader Cheng? A noble kid asked.
"Yes, yes, that officer is too young, how can he be in charge of the Lion King's army?" Others have questioned it.
At this time, Robert said with great certainty: "That's right, when we had a meeting in Daheng City, I was also very surprised when I knew that he was the leader of Cheng, but he is indeed the leader of Cheng, I can definitely be sure!" ”
At this moment, the Duke of Dozan came down from the upper floor of the Silver Tower, and he greeted the guests who had come to congratulate him very warmly, and walked straight to the banquet table of the people in Silver Tower City. The children of the nobles wanted to greet Duke Dozan, but found that Duke Dozan was not looking in their direction at all.
Duke Duozan walked all the way to Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei also got up to greet him, and then Duke Duozan said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, please move to my side!" ”
Cheng Lei looked in the direction that Duke Duozan was pointing at, and saw that the banquet table was much smaller than these large banquet tables, and it could only sit eight people. But now there were only five people sitting there, all of whom were city lords or leaders from various southern cities or other forces who had come to congratulate them.
Cheng Lei smiled at Duke Duozan and said, "Your Excellency Duke, I haven't seen these old friends in Silver Tower City for a long time, so you just let me be here." Besides, I don't know those people from the southern city-states, so I can't help but be a little embarrassed. ”
Duke Duozan still strongly invited: "Mr. Cheng, don't shirk it, it stands to reason that you should sit on the main seat over there, but today is my birthday, so you can barely sit in the deputy seat." ”
Cheng Lei still blindly refused, but Duke Duozan had to let him go there. Cheng Lei had no choice but to take Xiling to the banquet table at Duke Dozan's side. Duke Duozan was a little surprised to see Cheng Lei being with Xi Ling so obviously, but he didn't ask anything, in his opinion, if Xi Ling followed Cheng Lei, it would actually be a very good thing for Xi Ling and Yinta City and Duke Duozan.
Those noble children couldn't help but be envious when they saw Cheng Lei taking Xiling to the small banquet table with Duke Duozan. A stunning beauty like Xi Ling is simply unattainable, and she can be regarded as a beauty and a hero with Cheng Lei.
At this time, Robert, the younger brother of Mogoda, began to break the news to the noble children again: "Do you know the identity of that beauty? I didn't recognize it before, but now I finally recognize it! ”
The children of the nobles asked, "Who is she?" ”
"Isn't it a famous singer in Silver Tower City?"
"Impossible, how can such a beautiful woman be a singer, so dignified and generous must be everyone's lady."
Robert looked mysterious, and the children of the nobles urged him to let him quickly get the news out, otherwise they would not be suffocated to death!
Robert looked at them more and more curious, and then said quite complacently, "This beauty is the leader of the guards of Silver Tower City, Miss Xiling. ”
"What?"
"The leader of the City Guard?"
"Impossible! How could she be the leader of the City Guards! ”
"That's right, is such a beautiful beauty a soldier, or the supreme military commander of Silver Tower City? That's, isn't it? ”
Robert said, "I had the same look on your face when I first found out, but it's true. I didn't recognize her before because I had seen Miss Xiling twice before in a military uniform, and I had never seen her in a dress. ”
This is simply too subversive of the cognition of those noble children, the leader of the famous Lion King Army is a young man not much older than them. And the leader of the guards of Yinta City is actually a peerless beauty with a beautiful face and a moon, and they feel that the whole worldview of the whole person is going to be subverted today.
At this time, the muezziness of the birthday banquet began to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to Silver Tower City to attend the birthday banquet of His Excellency the Duke. On behalf of Duke Dozan and Silver Tower City, I would like to extend a warm welcome and sincere thanks to you! ”
"Now I announce the official opening of the banquet, I wish you all a pleasant meal and a good drink! Thank you! ”
The banquet hall resounded with warm applause, and the chefs in the kitchen of the Silver Tower were temporarily invited from the major restaurants in the Silver Tower City, and their skills were particularly exquisite. Therefore, the dishes at the banquet are also very rich and exquisite, and the Duke of Dozan also collected a lot of good wine from the winery run by Du Mo, and the guests praised the food and wine as good!
Cheng Lei drank liquor for the first time in this world, but this liquor is more like a mixture of rice wine and liquor. In the past, the mainstream of Silver Tower City was only red wine, but now this kind of white wine is passed down from Balono.
However, the quantity of this liquor is very scarce, and the Duke of Duozan only took out a dozen bottles to show his grandeur. Cheng Lei suddenly thought that since there is no pure liquor in this world, then he can make his own wine after returning to the Lion King base! Cheng Lei's father is a winemaker who has worked in a famous distillery for many years, and he brewed puree liquor at home, and Cheng Lei was still helping out the whole process at that time.
That was when Cheng Lei was in high school, but now Cheng Lei still remembers the steps of brewing liquor. Since there is no good quality liquor in this world, Cheng Lei made up his mind to make his own wine, first build a winemaking workshop, maybe he can make a lot of money from it!
In the middle of the banquet, the people of Silver Tower City came to toast Duke Duozan one after another, and by the way, they toasted Cheng Lei together. In their eyes, although Duke Duozan is the lord of a city, it is not enough to see Cheng Lei's power at all, so they must have a good relationship with Cheng Lei. Cheng Lei also did not refuse, after all, everyone is an old friend, so naturally he can't help but give face, and the wine is very bold.
After everyone in Yinta City finished toasting, those noble children began to toast. When they look at Cheng Lei now, there is no contempt in their eyes as before, only awe. Cheng Lei has now become their idol, an absolute idol, there is no one.
And when they looked at Xi Ling, they didn't have the blasphemous look they had before, and some of them just had some admiration. This female leader of the city guard subverted their cognition just as much as Cheng Lei's age, and they didn't come to Yinta City in vain because of this. Because there are so many things for them to learn today, the first one is to never underestimate anyone, maybe the person you underestimate has otherworldly skills.
After the banquet was over, it was time for the ball, and although Xiling was the most beautiful woman present, no one dared to come and invite her to dance with her. The reason is very simple, Xiling's own identity is there, and she has been with Cheng Lei today, who knows what kind of relationship she has with Cheng Lei!
While everyone was looking for a dance partner to start dancing, Cheng Lei whispered to Duke Duozan: "Your Excellency, I have something I want to tell you. ”
"Oh? You please. When Duke Duozan heard that Cheng Lei had something, he cheered up, originally he was a little tired when he looked at the people dancing on the field, and it was not good for people to be dissatisfied with old age.
Cheng Lei said: "Actually, I also discussed with you, I want to marry Xiling, I don't know what you think?" ”
When Duke Dozan heard this, he came to his senses, and sure enough, this was the case. I still wonder why Cheng Lei didn't agree when he asked Xiling to propose to Cheng Lei, but now Cheng Lei took the initiative to propose.
"Mr. Cheng, Xiling, you must know her relationship with me. And Xi Ling is still the leader of our Yinta City guards, if we lose her, Yinta City will also be a big loss......" Duke Duozan said, Cheng Lei thought to himself at this time, it's over, this matter is going to be yellow, it seems that Duke Duozan doesn't agree much! After all, Duke Duozan is Xiling's biological father, if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid Cheng Lei can't do anything, he can't rob his relatives!
Who knew that Duke Duozan's following words suddenly turned around: "But since Mr. Cheng has spoken, no matter how big the difficulty is, it is nothing." Besides, now that Silver Tower City has your wild wolf group stationed again, my heart is much more steady. It's just that I want to ask, does Mrs. Zun know about Mr. Cheng and Xiling? ”
Cheng Lei sweated profusely, this Duke Duozan would really ask the point: "Oh, Qinglan she doesn't know yet, I haven't mentioned it to her yet." But I think she'll agree, she's not a jealous woman. Your Excellency the Duke, rest assured, I will not treat Xiling badly. ”
Duke Duozan nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, of course I believe in Mr. Cheng's promise." In that case, I'll leave Xiling to you, please cherish her. ”
After Xi Ling married Cheng Lei, of course, she could no longer be the leader of the Yinta City Guard, and the position of this leader was vacant. Duke Dozan now has to start thinking about who is the leader of this suitable, if there is no suitable candidate for the time being, then he can only let Xilin be fully arrested first. At that time, Xilin will become the first military commander of Yinta City, but in terms of Xilin's talent, he does not have the talent to be a commander, and Duke Duozan has to find someone to replace Xiling as soon as possible.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon the ball was over, and the Duke of Dozan arranged for the guests from the outer city to be settled, and then everyone dispersed. Cheng Lei and Xi Ling walked out of the gate of the Silver Tower together, and Duke Duozan was too tired to come out to see him off in person.
It was too late today, so Cheng Lei decided to stay in Xilin Mansion for another night. As soon as he came out of the gate of the Silver Tower, he saw some young people in gorgeous clothes surrounding him, and Cheng Lei could see that they were all people at another large banquet table. At that time, when they toasted Duke Duozan, they also specially toasted Cheng Lei, and now they don't know what is going on.
"Mr. Cheng."
"Leader Cheng!"
"Mr. Cheng, do you remember me? I am Robert of Daheng City, and General Mogoda is my brother. ”
Cheng Lei stopped and asked a little strangely: "General Robert, of course I remember you." Is there anything you guys can do? ”
Robert said with a smile: "That's the case, they are all the sons of the city lords of our city-states in the Liedong Federation, and they have admired Mr. Cheng for a long time and wanted to get to know Mr. Cheng." I took the liberty to stop you here, do you have time at night, we will invite Mr. Cheng to come in the evening. ”
Cheng Lei said in his heart that this was the case, these people were almost here. However, he was not surprised, because now he also knew the name of the Lion King Army in the Liedong Federation, since these people wanted to come closely, of course Cheng Lei could not refuse. After all, these young people are all the children of the city-states of the Liedong Federation, and it can be said that most of them will inherit the position of the city lord of each city in the future, and it is beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with them.
"Well, it just so happens that I have time in the evening. Since you are so cordially invited, wouldn't it be too ignorant if I didn't go! Hahaha......" Cheng Lei said with a smile.
Those aristocratic children saw that Cheng Lei was able to joke with them and had no arrogance at all, which was too rare for a big man in a high position. Their originally nervous hearts also became relaxed, and they all chatted with Cheng Lei with laughter.
In the evening, Cheng Lei went to participate in the drinking party of the nobles' children again, because Xiling was pregnant, so Cheng Lei did not bring her. This also disappointed the children of the aristocracy who wanted to see Xi Ling's demeanor again, but they were proud to be able to meet Cheng Lei and sit at a table and drink. Being able to drink with their idols was something they had never thought of before. No matter what time or time, young people are so idolatrous.
The next day, Cheng Lei set off early to return to the Lion King base, and the most important thing in front of him now was to quickly explain to Qinglan about him and Xiling, and let Zheng Bin leave all the things at hand and prepare for the wedding first. No, Cheng Lei was still a little apprehensive in his heart, because he didn't know what Qinglan's attitude was after knowing about this matter.
In fact, Qinglan is a particularly empathetic woman, and she is also a good wife. It's just that she has wanted a child for so long, but I don't know why. Cheng Lei once thought it was his own problem, but now it seems that it may be Qinglan's problem, because he and Xi Ling have only been pregnant once.
How sad should Qinglan be if she really couldn't get pregnant? Cheng Lei's heart is very conflicted, if she doesn't tell her the news that Xiling is pregnant, Qinglan will know sooner or later, although it is a white lie, it can't be hidden for long. What would she think if she was told? Will you feel guilty or will you blame yourself?
Cheng Lei rubbed his head and had a headache, this problem was simply too difficult to solve. Even if there are now 10,000 troops to attack the Lion King base, it is better for Cheng Lei to scratch his head with this question, what should I do? He promised to pat his chest and assure Duke Duozan and Xilin that there was no problem on Qinglan's side, and now that the problem fell on him, he really felt a little at a loss.
What to do? At this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and it was difficult to find Zheng Bin! That's right, thinking about it differently would have a good idea. Who is Zheng Bin's wife now, is Fang Lihua, what is the relationship between Fang Lihua and Qinglan? She will definitely be able to enlighten Qinglan well, and she will be able to say what Cheng Lei is embarrassed to say to Qinglan. It's just that Zheng Bin's wife, who is strict, can persuade Fang Lihua to enlighten Qinglan, this is a key question...... (To be continued.) )
