Just when Zhou Meng took Xiao Junling home to save his relatives, the state banquet hall of the Imperial Senate was full of laughter and guests.

Today's banquet was held to welcome the visiting Empress Belluqia and Princess Dai Liwei of the Qingqiu Empire, according to the principle of reciprocity in diplomatic activities, Qin Qiyuan, the supreme consul of the Huaxia Empire, personally presided over the dinner, and the eight great consuls of the core decision-making level of the empire, except for two who patrolled around the empire for official business, all the rest attended!

The sound of soft music flows through every corner of the Golden Hall, and the gorgeous and brilliant Crystal Palace lamps slowly rotate, pouring down the brilliant light and shadow, making the whole hall enveloped in a dreamlike atmosphere.

Ladies dressed in fancy clothes danced in the company of male guests, and ladies dressed in classical palace costumes walked with noble and elegant steps, with gentle smiles on their faces, like flocks of brightly colored butterflies, deftly shuttling back and forth among the guests, serving drinks and snacks according to their needs.

"Aunt Lori, what do you think of my dress?" Princess Delivia jumped up and down and grabbed the court steward's sleeve.

For this banquet, she deliberately changed into a custom-made Chinese court dress, and the gorgeous and exquisite Minghuang Palace skirt was worn on her, naturally revealing an innate nobility, elegance, and dignity.

"Beautiful, my Highness!" Lori Silly exclaimed sincerely, "You are the most beautiful princess in the entire Star Sea World!" ”

Deliwei smiled with satisfaction, gently stroked the hem of her skirt, and posed a few graceful poses at random, attracting the admiration of the palace guards around her.

Lorislan smiled, and re-turned her gaze to Her Majesty the Empress not far away, at this moment she was chatting and laughing with Qin Qiyuan, with a flawless face like a goddess, impeccable manners, intoxicating elegance, coupled with unfathomable cultivation, exquisite and unique statecraft, making her indisputably the most charming head of state in the Xinghai World Realm soon after she ascended the throne, there is no one!

The goddess of fate has given all the most beautiful things in the world to Her Majesty the Empress, borrowing the point of view of human civilization, she is a well-deserved celestial pride! This is the rightful ruler of the Star Sea Realm! The steward thought with pride.

Of course, the princess is also very good, and when she inherits the empire in the future, she will definitely push the ancient and great Qingqiu civilization to a new peak!

"Aunt Lori-slan......" Dai Liwei went and returned, holding a delicate silver dinner plate in her hand, her mouth was full, and she said indistinctly:

"Don't be distracted, try these things! The traditional Chinese food tastes very good! ”

The palace steward nodded with a smile, picked up a piece of Dongpo elbow from her plate and put it in Tan's mouth, chewed it slightly, and said with satisfaction:

"It's really good, there are still a lot of good things in the Chinese Empire! Perhaps, I should advise Her Majesty that when she returns home after this visit, she should bring back a few high-ranking chefs, so that you can eat such delicacies every day! ”

"Uh-huh, great idea!" Delivi nodded busily, quickly "annihilated" the food on the plate, and threw her princess image out of the clouds.

On the other side of the banquet hall, Wei Zhenhua sat alone at the table, holding a crystal goblet in his hand, squinting slightly and not knowing what he was thinking. A variety of wine glasses of different materials and specifications filled half of the table, as well as a complete set of bartending utensils.

This is the exclusive hobby of the Grand Consul of the Supreme Council and the head of the Imperial Security Council, and he likes to make his own drinks at state banquets, and it is said that the standard is no less than that of the top professional bartending. Of course, there seems to be no second person other than himself who has been able to taste the wine he has made with his own hands.

By human standards, he should be regarded as a handsome guy, with a fair complexion, standard facial features, and short black hair, he is meticulously combed, and the whole person looks quite neat, refreshing, and polite.

But it was such a middle-aged man who looked like an office clerk, but he was one of the most dangerous people in the eyes of the high-ranking people of the Xinghai clan!

In the early years of the Chinese Empire, there was no Security Committee, and several major intelligence systems, such as the Imperial Security Department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Anti-Terrorism Supervision, and the Second Department of the General Staff under the military, worked independently and only cooperated when necessary.

At that time, the national strength of the empire was not very strong, and the security situation faced by the country was far more severe than now, in order to optimize the integration of resources and concentrate on strength, the Imperial Security Committee came into being, which was responsible for overseeing and coordinating all security matters within the empire, and shouldered a series of important affairs such as external espionage intelligence, spies, assassination of important figures of enemy countries, infiltration and counter-infiltration, etc.!

Since then, the head of each generation of the Security Council has been the pinnacle of the Ninth Emperor, the Empire's power pyramid!

This big man came from an ordinary background in his early years, had an average family background, and belonged to the most ordinary ordinary people. After entering middle age, he miraculously rose from an ordinary clerk to the core decision-making level of the empire. His legendary experience could be written as a classic inspirational novel.

A young officer with an indifferent face and a cold look hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in his ear.

“…… Zhou Wenhao had something to do and left on temporary leave? He raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister has entrusted me to report to you, and to inform Your Excellency the Supreme Consul that he is feeling unwell, so he has gone home to rest!" Said the young officer.

"Rest?" Wei Zhenhua smiled indifferently, took a sip of wine, and said slowly:

"Did you go home and see your son-in-law go? I heard that his precious daughter went around the northwest and actually picked up a piece of jade and came back, what a lucky little guy! ”

"Son-in-law-to-be? It seems unlikely! The young officer was obviously his confidant, and he knew all kinds of inside information, and when he heard this, he whispered:

"I heard that the child is only fourteen years old, and it seems early to recruit a son-in-law now! And that girl is not a good match for his age, unless Zhou Jiyuan assigns him another suitable woman surnamed Zhou. ”

Wei Zhenhua smiled: "What does it matter if you are young? Raise it first! However, among the seventeen descendants of the Zhou family's generation, some have already married adults, and some are only a few years old, but none of them are matched with the child's age, which is a little difficult! ”

"Unless Zhou Jiyuan's old guy picks a suitable successor from the side lineage, and then points it to him after careful cultivation!" Young Officer,

"But such a hastily cultivated woman is inevitably a little worse in terms of qualifications and temperament, and she is difficult to take on a heavy responsibility, and the child may not agree!"

Wei Zhenhua pursed his lips and pondered for a while, and said:

"Actually, it's nothing, what I'm concerned about is, is that kid really worthy of their attention? Although Zhou Lingfeng is about to reach the end of his life, after all, there is still a ten-year buffer time, with the background of the Zhou family, there is no shortage of strong people in the clan who are qualified to hit that threshold, why should they pin their hopes on a child? ”

"That kid, our people have seen it!" The young officer whispered,

"Brilliant indeed! We managed to get some of his information, although it is incomplete, but I believe that anyone who reads it will not be indifferent, including you! ”

He took out a small chip and handed it over, Wei Zhenhua took it casually, and embedded it into the personal optical brain terminal on his wrist.

"Hehe, that's interesting!" The archon let out a low, indecipherable laugh,

"No wonder the children of those families are dizzy and have so many things going on in the northwest. Originally, in our information, these guys are quite brainy, not 100% waste! But now......"

The young officer said: "Just now, those restless families also made a lame hijacking operation, and almost all of them chased them to the door of people's homes!" I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

"That's okay!" The archon smiled gently, and a flash of sharpness in his eyes disappeared:

"Since they were so happy to send the handle to the door, we can't just laugh at it! You go and arrange some people to go to those families to 'visit' around! See what a few lovely heads of home have to say! In other words, they are children, and if they do bad things, they will inevitably have to hit the board, let alone them? ”

"Okay, I see!" The young officer said solemnly.

"Also, you go and arrange it, I want to see how powerful that Xiao Junling kid is! Hope you don't let me down! ”

……

The Zhou family's mansion, in the study of the head of the family.

"Sure enough, it's a piece of jade, even better than we imagined!" Opposite Zhou Jiyuan, an old man in white who exuded a terrifying aura around him sighed:

"As long as this child can grow up smoothly, I will be relieved to leave at that time!"

He is the elder brother of the head of the family, Zhou Lingfeng. The Zhou family's only Silent Star God of War now has only been seriously damaged due to injuries in his early years, and now he has less than ten years of life.

Once he unfortunately falls, there will be a fatal fault in the Zhou family's high-end strategic force, and there is no telling when it will be able to make up for it.

Without the Silent Star God of War, it means that the strength of the family has inadvertently dropped a notch, and it is inferior everywhere, or even excluded! That's why they attach so much importance to Xiao Junling's homecoming plan.

There is a light screen hanging on the wall of the study, which is a live broadcast, filming Xiao Junling and Zhou Meng chatting with Zhou Wenhao and his wife in the living room, and it seems that everyone's mood is very high. In the study room was also the old manager named Uncle Qing.

"Zhou Meng's performance is really good!" ZHOU Jiyuandao,

"Maybe I should give her some reward! In addition, after they finish talking, Uncle Qing, you can invite the children over to meet us! ”
