The celebration meeting on May 20, the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, began on time at four o'clock in the afternoon, and after ordering Liang Qiming to arrange the city defense duty, Qin Du led all the officers of his subordinates at all levels to attend the celebration.

Originally, Qin Duan wanted to bring her ordinary women to this celebration meeting, but Liu Yan disagreed, she said that if she went to these women, her husband would not have fun.

The celebration ceremony was very grand, the venue was still in the arena, the rostrum was set up on the wooden platform that was simply built last time, Qin Duan was arranged to sit in the middle, on his left was Liang Qiming, Zhu Yongqing, Liu Xiaoshan, Shangguan Yonglun, Lihua and several others, on the right were Zhao Dongcheng, Xu Yongchang and several other local figures in Tokugawa Castle who were more influential and contributed to the defense of Tokugawa Castle, and under the stage were nearly 100,000 people, almost all of the people who stayed behind helped the old and the young to participate in the celebration.

First of all, Zhao Dongcheng made an enthusiastic speech on behalf of the people of the city to thank the imperial army led by Qin Duan for their sacrifices and contributions to the defense of the Tokugawa Mansion, and then Xu Yongchang made a very sensational speech on the heroic deeds of Shangguan Yonglun, Liu Xiaoshan, Li Daring, Kang Younian and others who were prominent in this defense battle, and tens of thousands of ordinary people in the audience listened to it with fascination, and even several parties sitting on the stage were quite moved, which made Qin Duan very strange that Xu Yongchang still had such a good eloquence. It's almost enough to catch up with the professional storytellers who make a living out of it.

After the successful speech, the celebration set off a small climax, that is, Zhao Dongcheng announced the presentation of garlands for several heroes who had distinguished themselves in this defense battle, and Liang Qiming announced the list of winners of this honor, and the officers who were named came to the stage one after another, and a group of beautiful girls, dressed in colorful costumes, held garlands to present wreaths to the heroes. Qin Duan took the lead in standing up and applauding, and the applause on and off the stage was thunderous, and the whole venue was immersed in a warm and joyful atmosphere.

Finally, Xu Yongchang announced that he invited the greatest hero and commander of the battle and the protector of the Tokugawa people, Tokugawa County Warden Qin Du, to speak. Qin Duan walked vigorously to meet the tens of thousands of pairs of expectant eyes in the audience, and strode to the front of the stage.

"Dear fathers, elders, fellow villagers, friends, today we are holding a rally here to solemnly celebrate the great victory that has just been achieved, in the past few days. Together with the people of the city, more than 40,000 of us fought against the invasion of the invaders, and we defeated the more with less, and the stronger with the weak, creating a miracle and breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Hungarian invaders. In this war, nearly 20,000 brave soldiers and civilians sacrificed their precious lives to defend our homeland. I mentioned yì, and everyone present took off their hats and mourned in silence for them. ”

Qin Duan took the lead in taking off his official hat. Bowing their heads in silence, everyone present stood up and took off their hats and bowed their heads in silence.

After a moment of silence, Qin Duan continued his speech, "Today I stand here and swear to all of you here on behalf of all my soldiers that I will do my best to protect the safety of your lives and property from being violated. Redouble your efforts to create a prosperous and powerful new home! ”

After listening to Qin Duan's oath and motivational words. Thunderous applause immediately erupted on and off the stage, and many people couldn't even control their feelings and began to cheer.

"We've won!"

"Victory!"

"I love you, Lord Gunjo."

……

Slogans reverberated throughout and outside the arena, and excited crowds poured out of the arena and began to march spontaneously through the streets.

The bonfire in the evening is even more lively. Dozens of bonfires lit a raging fire, and tens of thousands of people sang and danced excitedly around the fire to the accompaniment of various musical instruments, and the celebration entered the carnival stage.

Due to its remote location, Tokugawa Prefecture shares borders with many countries and regions, and has been intermarried by various races for hundreds of years. The ethnic composition was very complex, with only 40 percent of the population being yellow and 30 percent white and mixed-race people, so the social atmosphere was much more open than in the rest of the empire.

Qin Du also led his officers to be invited to a bonfire party, which Liang Qiming called close military-civilian relations.

At the party, the girls of all ethnic groups dressed in various costumes were very cheerful and generous, and they came to invite the officers at all levels under Qin Dui to dance together, and the officers looked at Qin Dui's group of people because they did not get the approval of their superiors, and Qin Dui also generously approved that the subordinates could choose by themselves.

Suddenly, hundreds of officers were snatched up, and some of them were even beautiful and bold to invite Qin Dui to dance with this group, and many well-known people in Tokugawa Castle who sat with Qin Dui also asked Liang Qiming and others about Qin Dui's personal situation.

Zhao Dongcheng, Xu Yongchang and some other businessmen with more clever minds have already decided that Qin Dui will be the new ruler of this fast land, and they have sent invitations at the party, inviting Qin Dui to participate in the welcome banquet he held for Qin Dui in the next few days, after all, when Qin Dui took office as the Tokugawa County Warden, because they were not optimistic about Qin Dui's ability to fight Wu Sang's old Tokugawa County forces, so everyone only participated in Qin Dui's inauguration ceremony, and there was no special welcome banquet for Qin Dui.

This victory in the defense of Tokugawa Castle made Qin Duan's prestige unprecedented in the entire Tokugawa Castle and even in the entire Tokugawa Prefecture, and also stabilized his rule in Tokugawa Prefecture.

Therefore, it is the first thing for every big family in Tokugawa Prefecture to tie up this upstart who will rule the entire Tokugawa Prefecture in the future, so everyone invited Qin Du one after another, for fear of being one step behind others.

Under Liang Qiming's signal, Qin Dudu did not refuse to come, and agreed with his mouth. Just when Qin Dui was chatting and laughing with all the well-known people in the Tokugawa Prefecture present, a slender figure came to Qin Dui, "Lord Gunmari, the little girl wants to invite the adults to dance, I wonder if the adults are willing to appreciate it?" ”

Qin Duan raised his head and carefully looked at the pretty woman in front of him, who was enough to make anyone's heart flutter with two charming dimples, a pair of deep pool-like eyes, a proud figure wrapped in a snow-white dress, and flaxen-colored hair told everyone that she had Caucasian blood.

In an instant, Qin Duan remembered his own women who were thousands of miles away, I don't know what they are doing now, Xu Yongchang next to him saw that Qin Duan was a little distracted, and hurriedly asked, "Which family's daughter is this?" Why have you never seen it before? ”

"It's rude, this is the old granddaughter, why don't you give a salute to the adults." A thin old man with a white beard and hair stood up.

"Oh, it's Mr. Sima's Sun Qianjin, no wonder, we can't recognize it after a few years of not being seen like a fairy."

The old man was obviously very familiar with everyone present, Xu Yongchang hurriedly introduced to Qin Du: "This is the old man Sima of Lichuan Mansion, the Sima family is also a well-known family of medicinal materials in our northwest region and even the entire Eastern Continent, and their family's supply of medicinal materials accounts for one-tenth of the needs of the Great Qin Empire." The county keeper doesn't need to be introduced. ”

Before Qin Duan left Beijing, he heard Li Yongzhen mention this person when he introduced the important people in the Northwest County, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, and after some cold noise, the girl standing next to him still refused to leave, and looked at Qin Duan with some unhappiness and said: "Lord County Guard, I heard that you are strategizing on the battlefield and fighting against 10,000 people, so you won't even dare to accept this little invitation from Miss Ben, right?" ”

Everyone on the side looked at the two of them with a smile on their faces, especially several of Qin Du's subordinates, although his boss usually looked amiable and approachable, but the officers and soldiers who had come into contact with him all felt that he always had an endless domineering spirit under a smiling baby face, which made people feel awe. Only this little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky will talk to him in such a tone, and if she changes someone else, I'm afraid she won't dare to borrow his three guts.

Old Man Sima also felt that his granddaughter was too presumptuous, and hurriedly blamed: "Qingqing, how can you talk to Lord County Shou like this, Lord County Shou has a lot of opportunities, how can he be as crazy as you children?" ”

"He's not more than two years older than me, and besides, aren't his men dancing pretty well?"

The girl was obviously spoiled by her grandfather, so she was not afraid of her grandfather's blame, Qin Duan was also attracted by this smart and beautiful girl, and the restless man in her chest was a little impatient by nature.

"Mr. Sima, don't blame Ling's granddaughter, since it's rare for everyone to be so happy today, I'll dance with her." Qin Duan also generously accepted the invitation and walked into the venue with the girl.

As the cheerful dance music sounded, Qin Du and the girl stepped on the light drumbeat, and reveled in it like other boys and girls. The girl's dancing posture is very skillful and beautiful, but Qin Duan has never officially danced this kind of folk dance with local characteristics, but under the leadership of the girl, she also watched many people dance in the evening party with Qin Dui, and she quickly adapted to it.

Smelling the fragrance of the girl's body, hugging the girl's slender waist, and stepping on the enthusiastic and unrestrained drumbeat, Qin Du couldn't help but be a little moved.

Off the field, Zhao Dongcheng looked at Sima Yuan, who was stroking his beard and smiling from ear to ear, and said: "Old man Sima, your granddaughter will really take the lead, it seems that your emotional investment is very successful, but I heard that there are a lot of confidants of our county guard." ”

Sima Yuan replied quietly: "That's their children's business, and we old things can't manage that much." ”

A fat businessman standing next to him also sighed: "It's a pity that the mothers-in-law in my family didn't give birth to a more beautiful girl." ”

Xu Yongchang, who was watching the dance, turned around and smiled: "Fat Li, you don't look at your own appearance, how can you give birth to a beautiful daughter, if you really give birth, it must be your wife who brought you a green hat." But to be serious, the county keeper has accepted the invitation of several of us, and there is still a chance to contact the relationship, however, our county keeper is not an ordinary person, I guess when the time comes, they may have to make some requests, and we ourselves will have to prepare.
