Chapter 177: The Purpose of Coming to Bailan
The Nine Emperor Princes and Pu Xiuwen glanced at each other, and the Nine Emperor Princes nodded with a smile and said, "You have guessed correctly, as for the brave... Don't dare to be, at best, it's just sneaking in. ”
"Okay, since you all know the two of them, I'll introduce them to you, these are all good friends I made in Bailan, this heroic is Shui Ningxin, this is Xia Yue, this is Hongxue, this is our Minister of Finance Futian, this is Yufei, this is the gunner, everyone is their own people, let's talk openly." Bei Ming introduced them to the two of them one by one.
"By the way, why didn't Dong Lichen come with you?" Bei Ming suddenly thought and asked.
"There's no way, Dong Li Chen's father's troops exercised, and he took Dong Li Chen to see the long, so he didn't come. Pu Xiuwen shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Come on, let's stop standing and talking, sit down, Yufei, you move a few chairs. Futian warmly beckoned everyone to sit down, and then said, "I'll inform my dad and ask him to send a few barrels of wine." With that, he went to his room to get a walkie-talkie.
"Sit down, you're welcome, it's all your own people. ”
After everyone sat down, Xia Yue said with emotion: "I can't believe that I actually met with a legendary character today." ”
"Who's to say it's not, it's a surprise. Shui Ningxin nodded and said.
Pu Xiuwen said with a big grin: "There's nothing to be nervous about, you see we have been calling Uncle Xingqi since we were children, Aunt Yirou came over, it's not so good, don't be nervous." ”
"Haha, yes, you just treat me as an ordinary person, we don't have so many rules. Xingqi said with a smile, looking so approachable.
Everyone chatted with me one by one, and slowly there was no longer the embarrassment when we first met.
"Beiming, did you destroy the white tiger two days ago?" asked Xingqi with a cigarette.
Bei Ming was a little embarrassed, and before he could speak, the gunner stood up first and said, "Star Diaphragm... Duke. This is because of me, I just followed Young Master Beiming a few days ago, and because of my matter, there was a conflict with the White Tiger, so it's just..."
The gunner originally wanted to call Uncle Xingqi, but later thought that his identity was different from them, so it was better to call him Duke directly.
Beiming spread out the two poems and said: "Na, the actual situation is like this, I am aiming to break the fortune and avoid disasters, but the white tiger is too greedy, and he feels that I dare not do it, so he will force me." ”
Xingqi waved his hand to let the gunner sit down: "I don't mean to accuse you, you are not wrong in this matter, gunner, since you follow Beiming, then he should do to get rid of some trouble for you." Then he looked at Bei Ming and said: "In the future, you should pay more attention to Bai Lan, it is still the same sentence, this is not an ancient bird after all, there must be many people secretly waiting for the opportunity to get rid of you to make your reputation bigger, think about everything, Paul Although they are staying in Bai Lan now, if they leave one day, it will be very dangerous if you are still so public." ”
"Don't worry, I'm a man with my tail between my legs, and I'm very low-key. Beiming said honestly.
The Duchess poked the diaphragm and said, "I started training children just when we met, you are really idle." ”
Bei Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, mother, I've long been used to it." Then he stood up and said, "I know that there must be something big going on when you come, don't care about those things for now, today Young Master Ben will cook for everyone, and I will eat dinner first." Gunner, Yu Fei, let's put the stove up!"
Several of them began to set up a stove for barbecue. After a while, the wine called for mourning also arrived, and everyone chatted while eating the barbecue made by Beiming himself.
-------------------------------------
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone ate very happily, and Beiming began to take the initiative to ask the reason for his father's arrival.
"Father, what are you doing this time?" asked Bei Ming after taking a sip of wine.
"Come here this time... Let the Nine Emperor Princes say it. Starter said, leaning back in her chair.
"Hmm. The Nine Emperor Princes nodded and looked at Bei Ming and said, "This time I am here to donate the treasure map of the 'Loki Divine Treasure' on behalf of the Magic Guild. ”
"Oh...."Everyone nodded, they had long known that the Magic Guild would donate the map, but they didn't expect to let the Nine Emperor Princes donate it and let him be in the limelight.
Bei Ming nodded and said with emotion: "It's all old foxes, let's calculate others, and the people will directly let the Nine Emperors come forward with their backhand." He was referring to the president of the Magical Guild, Otis. Originally, he wanted him to be in the limelight at this donation ceremony, but he asked the Nine Emperor Princes to come forward, which made people have to think of the Ancient Bird Royal.
"Now the Magic Guild has begun to fight among themselves, with one faction refusing to donate and the other wanting to donate. Stargaz said as he smoked a cigarette. "So Otis simply asked the Nine Emperors to come forward, metaphorically oppressing the royal family. ”
"Well, it's troublesome, but at least we still have a certain advantage for now. Bei Ming nodded and said.
"Yes, at the moment, it seems that the royal family is temporarily pressing the Magic Guild. The Nine Emperor Princes agreed, he can now be said to be proud, he has achieved a certain status in the Magic Guild, and now he has come forward to donate on behalf of the Magic Guild, and his status within the royal family is not the same.
Bei Ming took a sip of wine and said, "But father, you should have something to do." Otherwise, you wouldn't be there in person. ”
Xingqi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Nominally, I am here to participate in the auction of the 'Top of the White Lan' and donate the map of the 'Loki Divine Collection', but in fact, there is one more thing. Xing Yan's fingers quickly tapped on the table, as if he had made up his mind and said: "I'll just say it directly, it was the court magician Shanyang who found me and asked me to buy something at the Bailan auction, and I could only buy it in my own name, because Shanyang had helped me at the beginning, so I decided to help." ”
"What to buy?" asked the Nine Emperor Princes, looking a little nervous, "Before I came, my teacher told me that according to the grapevine, the scepter of the first president of the Magic Guild would appear at this auction, and told me to buy it at all costs if it appeared at the auction." ”
"Isn't this scepter a rumor?
He knows all these things well, and the scepter of the first president of the Magic Guild has been passed down from generation to generation, and is a symbol of the power of the president of the Magic Guild, a bit like the dog-beating stick of the beggars. The specific disappearance was the assassination of the then president of the Magic Guild hundreds of years ago, who was killed on the spot, and the scepter was also lost. This caused an uproar at the time, and all parties of the Magic Union competed for the position of president for decades, and finally reached an agreement to elect an acting president, and no matter who got the acting president of the scepter in the future, he would unconditionally give up the position of president!
In the first few decades, the acting president would go to great lengths to find the scepter, but after a hundred years, the acting president felt that the hope of finding the scepter was too slim, so he consciously changed the title of "acting president" to "president" in various public places. Thinking of using time to smooth out people's memories, and slowly forgetting about the scepter.
