Chapter 102: Critical Military Intelligence
After all, the Feiling family is different from the Jin family, which is rich and rich, so this banquet is set in a relatively wide hall.
The head of the Feiling family was the one who accompanied Ding Zhuqiang to the first seat, while people such as Hukui, Tuoya, and Xueling were in the second seat.
"Why is she sitting with us?"
But when he saw Qingling sitting next to Ding Zhuqiang, he was very dissatisfied.
"Hehe......" Ding Qiqiang smiled and replied: "Ling'er is the eldest lady of the Feiling family, so Yue'er, you should stop slandering her." ”
"Isn't it just the eldest lady of a down-and-out family, it's amazing?"
Closed Moon only muttered to herself, but she also looked at Qing Ling differently.
When the Feiling family master saw that the city lord of Aoxing was detained and accompanied by him, his spirit was sluggish outside the hall, and he couldn't ask: "Is the city lord here to take this person away?"
"I forgot about it. After this reminder, Ding Zhuqiang turned around, stood up and ordered: "Take the city lord of Aoxing City down to have a good change of hospitality." ”
Qing Ling couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Qiang...... City Lord, aren't you afraid that this bad old man will take the opportunity to escape?"
"Are you still afraid that he will run away with me?" Closed Moon said with complete disdain: "No matter where he escapes, I have a way to teach him to kneel and come back and beg me." ”
"Ahh
Hearing this, in the ears of the Aoxing City Lord who had this thought, he shuddered, shivered, his face was like earth, and he was helped away.
"Then I'm relieved. ”
When Ding Zhuqiang thought of the means of closing the moon, it was like Sun Monkey being put on a tight spell in Journey to the West, and now he looks at the unruly old city lord of Aoxing. When I think about myself, if I have been inadvertently cursed, it will be terrible.
Uncle Ah Lan picked up his glass and said, "Come on, come on, I'll give a glass to the head of the Feiling family first." ”
"No. Seeing this, Qing Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My father is suffering from a stubborn illness and can't drink, this ...... The lord of the castle also knows. ”
"Yes!" Ding Zhuqiang nodded and replied, "Uncle Alan, you're welcome." ”
"Okay!" This was heard in the ears of Closed Yue, and when she saw Ding Zhuqiang admit it directly, she said angrily: "You even know that her father can't drink, and you just treat her as a maid." ”
"Hehe...... Ding Zhuqiang had to scratch his ears and cheeks stupidly, and smiled shamelessly: "Ling'er, she will be my person sooner or later, it's nothing?"
"Oh!" This was heard in the ears of the head of the Feiling family, and when he saw his daughter blushing and looking shy and pretty, he was overjoyed, stood up and said: "Fortunately, the city lord is loved, and my Feiling family is waiting for the city lord to marry at any time." ”
"Daddy......" Qing Ling blushed even more, and said timidly: "Look at your urgency, it's not that time yet!"
"Hmph!" Closed Yue snorted coldly and asked Ding Zhuqiang, "Do you really want to marry her?"
Ding Zhuqiang saw Qing Ling's shy and timid gaze, his heart rippled, and he couldn't help but blurt out to agree, but fortunately at this time, a guard entered the hall and said: "Lord of the city, the lord of the hundred merchants said that there is an urgent military return." ”
"Oh?
Ding Zhuqiang's complexion changed slightly, and he stood up.
Uncle Ah Lan also looked puzzled, and guessed: "Could it be that the three cities are raising troops to attack?"
Ding Zhuqiang shook his head with a solemn expression and said, "It's better to wait for me to listen and see." ”
"Lord of the City, I'll go with you!"
Qing Ling saw Ding Zhuqiang leave the table, so he got up and followed.
"Hmph!" Closed Moon snorted, "Don't you care about the Aoxing City Lord?"
"Yue'er, then please leave it to you. I'll go back to my house first and meet with the owner of the hundred merchants. ”
At the same time as Ding Zhuqiang finished saying this, he had already rushed out of the hall without stopping.
"That's okay too!"
For the sake of the thousand-year-old astral arts, Closed Moon had to let Ding Zhuqiang go with Qingling, and glanced at Uncle A Lan with a slightly changed expression.
"Tweet ......"
With a step out of the gate of the Lingshi Mansion, he only heard the golden silk ruyi bird fluttering its wings from the chirping sound of the eight-lifted sedan chair.
"You are here to welcome my princess's wife home. ”
Ding Zhuqiang only gave an order to the sedan chair men who got up, and then he was anxious, without hesitation, he stopped his waist and hugged Qingling's slender waist, and jumped to stand on the back of the poisonous flame desolate.
"Strong ...... Brother Qiang...... What are we going to do?"
Qing Ling seemed to come back to his senses and asked hesitantly.
"Of course I'm going home. Ding Zhuqiang replied, and then seemed to think: "Ling'er, I can't marry you now, will you blame me?"
"Qing Ling is already a strong brother, what does it matter if he marries or not!"
After Qingling replied this, he was even more deeply snuggled in his arms, with a happy face.
"This ......" Ding Zhuqiang hugged the nephrite jade in his arms tightly, and then thought of the romance and warmth last night, but he shook his head resolutely and said: "No! I will definitely marry you, at least I will give you a name." ”
Qing Ling said lightly: "As long as Brother Qiang doesn't bother me and always sticks to you, Qing Ling is already satisfied." ”
"Good Ling'er, look at what you said, how can I bother you to stick to me!"
Ding Zhuqiang smiled helplessly, but in his heart, he didn't know how deep Qingling's attachment to him was?
"Brother Qiang......" Qing Ling suddenly said in shame, and asked softly, "If Ling'er is pregnant with your child, will you be happy?"
"Ahh
Ding Zhuqiang was shocked, and then he thought of what kind of consequences would be caused by the good things he did last night?
"If you get pregnant before you get married, it's too dishonoring. Ding Zhuqiang shook his head slowly and said with a bitter smile: "Ling'er, I don't want children yet." ”
"I see. ”
Qing Ling's expression darkened, and he lowered his eyes and nodded.
"Alas......"
Ding Zhuqiang had to sigh, was he a little too irresponsible?
"Tweet ......"
After a while, with the chirping of the golden silk wishful bird, it had already carried the two back to the mansion garden.
"Ling'er, don't be unhappy, let's go!"
As Ding Zhuqiang spoke, he floated down with Qingling in his arms.
"How could it be!" Qing Ling raised his eyes with a smile: "As long as I can be with Brother Qiang, it is the happiest thing in Ling'er's life." ”
"Really?"
Ding Qiqiang asked with a smile, and without saying much, he walked hand in hand towards the hall of the mansion.
"Lord of the City, the Lord of the Hundred Merchants is waiting in the hall. ”
But as soon as he saw Ding Zhuqiang holding hands with a beautiful Yingying girl walking over, an attendant immediately stepped forward to report.
"Hmm. ”
Ding Zhuqiang only nodded, and led Qingling into the hall without leaving his hand.
The lord of the hundred merchants immediately stood up and greeted, "I have seen the city lord." ”
"You're welcome. Ding Zhuqiang just stopped, let go, sat down and asked, "I don't know what the emergency military situation is?"
Qingling took advantage of this to consciously arrange to serve tea.
The lord of the hundred merchants immediately replied: "Returning to the city lord, Aoxing City and Baichuan City are going to fight. ”
"Oh!" Ding Zhuqiang was secretly startled, and asked with a solemn expression, "Is this true?"
"It's true. The lord of the hundred merchant houses swore an oath, and said conclusively: "This is the news that my brother of the hundred merchant houses reported from Feixun, so I came to inform the city lord of you as soon as possible." The lord of the castle can see it with his own eyes. As he spoke, he presented a roll of parchment himself.
Although Ding Zhuqiang didn't know it, he still took a glance at the scribbled text on it, nodded with a smile: "Very good, just like a sandpiper and a clam competing for a profit, you can quickly send a message and tell me that as long as there is any news of the war, it will be reported as soon as possible." ”
"Then the city lord, you?" the lord of the hundred merchants hesitated and asked, "But do you want to send troops?"
"Brother Qiang, please use tea. ”
At this time, Qing Lingyan had already placed a steaming fragrant tea on the coffee table beside Ding Qiqiang.
Ding Zhuqiang took a sip of tea, thought for a while and asked, "How many days will it take for me to ride to Aoxing City in Eight Desolate Cities at the earliest?"
The lord of the hundred merchant houses replied in a deep voice: "It will take eight or nine days at the earliest. ”
"Oh?"
Ding Zhuqiang was secretly surprised, but when he thought of it, the distance between the Eight Desolation City and the Aoxing City was nearly four thousand miles, and it was indeed not easy to rush to the aid in a short time.
"Okay!" Ding Zhuqiang bowed slightly, and then asked: "Aoxing City and Baichuan City are at war, how is the movement of the nearby cities?"
The owner of the hundred merchants shook his head and said, "There is no news yet, but I am afraid that I will not sit idly by." ”
"Okay!" Ding Zhuqiang asked in a deep voice, "I wonder if you can find a way to draw a map of the two cities near each other?"
The owner of the hundred merchant houses got up and replied, "It's no problem, when I go back, I will order someone to start it, and I will send it tomorrow." ”
"Thank you so much. ”
Ding Zhuqiang then got up to send him off.
"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, please stay. ”
The owner of the hundred commercial houses was extremely flattering and polite, and left the hall.
"Brother Qiang, what are you ......" Qing Ling couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to attack the city?"
"What do you think?" Ding Zhuqiang asked with a deliberate smile, "Should I stay out of the matter or get involved?"
"I don't think there's any need for the lord to send troops. Qing Ling said: "There are not too many troops in the Eight Desolation City now, if a foreign enemy takes the opportunity to attack, it will be bad." ”
"Hehe......" Ding Zhuqiang smiled and said, "Ling'er, you're right." For today's plan, the best way is to recharge and develop and grow. ”
"Hmm. ”
Qing Ling nodded happily, obviously leaning on Ding Zhuqiang's side.
"Let's wait for Yue'er to take the Aoxing City Lord back to the house first!"
Ding Zhuqiang turned to think to himself, held Qingling by hand, and sat down to wait.
"Brother Qiang, you must be hungry, why don't I arrange for someone to get you something to eat?"
Qing Ling, who was ambiguously sitting in Ding Zhuqiang's arms, suddenly remembered and raised his eyes with concern.
"Hmm. Ding Zhuqiang nodded, and praised with a smile: "Ling'er, you are really considerate, and you really deserve to be a blessing from my eight lifetimes of cultivation." ”
"Brother Qiang, don't make fun of it!"
Qingling was full of happy smiles, reluctant to leave his embrace, dancing and giving away.
"I don't know if she's wet?"
Ding Zhuqiang looked at it in his eyes, and couldn't help but think of Ruoshui, who was also as tender as water. For his own sake, he was willing to learn the art of alchemy......
