49. Family feast
Walking into the office, Duan Zuogang came to the desk, stretched out his hand and pulled out the chair under the desk, and slowly sat on it.
Looking at the documents on the table, Duan Zuogang flipped through them and pulled out a topographic map of the southeastern region of the Terran Federation. It depicts the trend, height, and flow of rivers in the entire mountain range of nearby provinces and cities, including Jiang Province and Modu.
Embedding his energy in the topographic map, Duan Zuogang reached out and picked up the pen, and as he thought, sketched on it.
Duan Yingjun followed, and slowly moved into Duan Zuogang's office.
Seeing that his father was seriously looking at the topographic map at his desk, planning and deploying the troops, Duan Yingjun still didn't dare to make any presumptuous moves when Duan Zuogang's focus was not on him.
He just stood honestly in the doorway, not daring to make any other moves. He didn't dare to sit down in the chair next to him, nor did he dare to leave the office with a straight step.
Duan Yingjun's eyes looked straight at Duan Zuogang, and his eyes were full of smiles. The whole person is no longer as careless as outside, but has become serious and calm.
Don't take the neglected things to heart, and don't even care that his father just reprimanded him, Duan Yingjun is now only focused on standing up straight and straightening his waist.
Duan Zuogang, who was sitting at the desk and thinking about the problem seriously, felt Duan Yingjun's eager gaze, glanced up from the corner of his eye, and saw such a serious and serious Duan Yingjun.
Secretly affirmed in his heart, but Duan Zuogang still ignored him. Instead, he continued to bury his head and carefully improve his planning sketch.
Outside the door, Duan Yinghao's whole person was shrouded in energy clusters. The body is surrounded by a dazzling light of various colors.
His divine sense, like a real spectator, is guiding his physical body to absorb the energy around him. Then he controls these energies to move quickly along the silk threads formed by his divine consciousness around his body.
In such a state, Duan Yinghao took this practice seriously, not being attracted and tempted by external events.
Inside the house, a calm but somewhat strange atmosphere constantly circulates in the air. However, this father and son did not have any discomfort, but they were in such a state, and they did not have any impact on them. It seems that Duan Zuogang and Duan Yingjun, a father and son, have become accustomed to this.
Indeed, for many years, Duan Yingjun and Duan Zuogang have not really spoken two words heart-to-heart. Duan Yingjun knew that it was his own stupidity for so many years that made his father look down on him.
Many years ago, when Duan Yingjun was still young, he also showed the same talent and scheming as Duan Yinghao and Duan Yingqi. He is also the brightest star in the entire Duan family.
Everything changed after Duan Xiaomei's death.
After Duan Xiaomei's death, Duan Yingjun spent his time in pain and sadness. In this flash, five years have passed. In the past five years, he has been in a state of confusion all day long, not only has he fallen behind in his cultivation, but he has not been thinking about anything carefully. In this case, his father Duan Zuogang often educated him, but it didn't play any role, so the mud couldn't support the wall, and over time, Duan Zuogang, Duan Zuogang, Duan Yingjun's father, began to stop paying attention to his son.
And Duan Yingjun doesn't care, thinking about Duan Xiaomei's death all day long, and finally suspects a person. That person is Duan Yinghao.
After the father and son met again, Duan Zuogang no longer cared about him, and even didn't care much about him at all, although he could occasionally point out to him, but Duan Yingjun was no longer the prodigy he once was. He, like that Fang Zhongyong, finally disappeared from everyone, which made people sigh.
Duan Zuo had just drawn the last line on the topographic map, put down the pen in his hand casually, and instead raised his head and glanced at Duan Yingjun.
I saw that he was still standing straight at the door of the office, and his expression did not change in the slightest. Duan Zuogang likes to watch others treat things meticulously. Therefore, Duan Yingjun occasionally pretended to please his general's father.
Duan Zuogang also knew that Duan Yingjun was pretending to be and did not reveal it, but he was still very happy in his heart. In this matter, the two of them are tacit.
His eyes turned to glance at Duan Yinghao at the door, and seeing that he was still immersed in cultivation, the energy mass shrouded in Zhou's body gradually thinned. Looking at the situation of the energy cluster, Duan Zuogang encouraged him that it would take a certain amount of time to absorb it. He stopped paying attention and looked at Duan Yingjun again.
"Duan Yingjun!"
Duan Zuogang's eyes sharpened, and he shouted at Duan Yingjun at the door.
"Here!"
Duan Yingjun stood at the door, although it was boring and boring, and it was very hard to maintain a military posture. But he didn't dare to relax at all. My father likes to carry out surprise attacks the most, and if he is stunned and does not answer in time, he will definitely be scolded.
"Hmm."
Hearing Duan Yingjun's timely answer, Duan Zuogang was very satisfied, but the expression on his face did not show it, but became more serious.
"Come in!"
"Yes!"
With a strong answer, Duan Yingjun took a step and came to the desk in a sonorous manner.
"Sit down."
His expression eased slightly, and Duan Zuogang then instructed, "Tell me about your experience on this trip." ”
Getting this question, Duan Yingjun was not stunned at all, and told Duan Zuogang about the experience of this trip to the Demon Capital very objectively in an orderly manner.
When he explained, Duan Zuogang just listened attentively, but did not express any opinions and questions, and there was no expression on his face coldly.
When Duan Yingjun's voice fell, Duan Zuogang fanned the desk with his fingers, and waited for a while before grabbing a point with some playfulness and said, "You mean, Yang Zhitian of the Demon Capital Military Region never showed up from beginning to end?" ”
Duan Yingjun said yes, but he didn't show a dissatisfied look, let alone curse and complain that he was neglected.
"Haha!"
When Duan Zuogang heard that this was indeed the case, he was not angry, but laughed with some interest.
"Interesting. This Yang Zhitian has some military spirit. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to climb over the Duan family, he just didn't care about it and threw it away directly. ”
With a funny shout, Duan Zuogang continued to ask: "Being treated like this, Yinghao must be very angry." ”
"Yes. Although he tried his best to hide it, we were taught by a teacher, and I could see the hatred in his eyes. Duan Yingjun said truthfully, without belittling Duan Yinghao.
"Hmm."
None of this was unexpected by Duan Zuogang. He whispered yes and did not go on to mention it. Instead, he turned his head to look at the sky, and then changed his words and said to Duan Yingjun: "You go down first." We went to prepare dinner, and in the evening we had a family dinner. ”
"Yes."
Duan Yingjun said yes neatly, then turned around and walked out of the office. When passing by Duan Yinghao's side, looking at the true qi revealed by him, a touch of jealousy appeared in his eyes. Instead of suppressing his emotional impetuousness, Duan Yingjun left without looking back.
Duan Zuogang in the office looked at Duan Yingjun's departing back, there was no trace of emotion on his face, only the blandness filled his entire face.
Lowering his head and picking up the topographic map on the table, placing it on top of the trash can, Duan Zuogang rubbed his fingers, and a cloud of energy appeared on the tips of his fingers. With a flick of his fingers, a flame emerged. Ignited that topographic map directly.
Watching the flames slowly burn across the entire map, Duan Yinghao casually threw it into the trash.
Then he got up and left his seat and walked towards the door of his office. There, the energy mass around Duan Yinghao's body had turned into a thin layer.
Moving his steps, he came to the side of Duan Yinghao's body, and Duan Zuogang slowly raised his right hand, and his fingers lightly touched the thin layer of energy film.
As soon as Duan Zuogang's fingers touched it, the membrane burst directly, slowly gathered together, and turned into a gossamer, which slowly floated in the air for a while, and then the gossamer entered his body under the suction of Duan Yinghao's body.
Wait for this energy hairspring to be sent into Duan Yinghao's body. The True Qi around his body spun at an accelerated pace, forming silk threads around his body. Then it slowly seeped into his body.
After a while, Duan Yinghao's consciousness returned to his body and gradually came to his senses.
Coming back to his senses, Duan Yinghao turned his gaze, and the focus of his eyes gradually converged. After looking around, Duan Yinghao saw Duan Zuogang standing not far away.
With a feeling of gratitude on his face, Duan Yinghao bent down and bowed, and expressed his gratitude to Duan Zuogang: "Thank you, Second Uncle, for your success." ”
Duan Zuogang looked at Duan Yinghao, he hadn't seen him for a few years, Duan Yinghao's face was a little less immature and a little more alert. The momentum of the whole person is getting stronger and stronger.
A smile appeared on his face, and Duan Zuogang said, "Yinghao, you don't have to be like this. In fact, your realm has already been stuck at the peak of the second order for a long time, although you can't take this step for a long time, but it is also very fast. I'm just getting promoted early. ”
When Duan Yinghao heard this, he still expressed his sincere thanks, "Although the second uncle said so, if I didn't have the help of the second uncle, I know that I won't be able to complete the promotion in at least a month." Now that he has succeeded so quickly, I still have to thank the second uncle for his help! ”
After that, Duan Yinghao gave another deep salute.
"Haha."
Seeing Duan Yinghao so grateful, Duan Zuogang also smiled heartily with joy. The people who know how to repay the favor are indeed very happy.
"You and my uncle and nephew, you don't have to be so polite." With a sigh, Duan Zuogang took Duan Yinghao's hand and walked into the office with him.
Sitting on the chairs, Duan Zuogang said, "Yinghao, after three years of absence, I don't know how you are?" How have these years been? ”
Duan Yinghao looked at his second uncle Duan Zuogang who was sitting opposite him, his heart was full of admiration, and his face was also excited. Hearing Duan Zuogang's question, Duan Yinghao said, "Second uncle, I've been fine all these years. ”
Afterwards, the two sat together and talked about their experiences over the years, and when they mentioned happy things, they laughed together, and when they mentioned sad things, they were silent for a long time.
In this way, the two talked about everything together, and in the midst of joy, they found that the sky gradually darkened.
Dangdang!
In the middle of the conversation, there was a knock on the office door. After Duan Zuogang was informed, a guard stepped in, holding documents and materials in his hand.
Saluting Duan Zuogang, the guard said, "General, Captain Duan Yingqi is back, and now he has entered the military region." ”
"Got it." With a promise, Duan Zuogang waved his hand to retreat the guards.
Hearing this news, Duan Yinghao's expression became even more excited, this Yingqi is a partner who has played with him since he was a child, and the two can be called friends. Looking at Duan Zuogang, Duan Yinghao said happily: "It's Yingqi who is back!" ”
Duan Zuogang nodded and stood up: "Let's go, I asked Duan Yingjun to prepare a family banquet." ”
