Chapter 250: Guests Come Like Clouds
The entire east street was washed with clean water, the walls and roofs of the Anguo Mansion were swept spotlessly, and the servants and servants in the mansion were dressed in neat new clothes.
Jiang Li and Ding Qi drank tea in the concierge, and the people who came to the door today were all weighty guests, except for those who had to be greeted by Jiang Tong in person, the rest was greeted by the two of them.
"The eldest brother has not been entangled in mundane affairs all these years, and he has been able to concentrate on cultivation, and now he is about to hit the bottleneck of the dominant knight, right?" Ding Qi deliberately found a topic.
Jiang Li glanced at Ding Qi and said, "You want to mock me for not breaking through when I'm old, right?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, the younger brother himself has not stepped into the late stage of the fearless knight, how dare he laugh at the eldest brother. Ding Qi was embarrassed.
"That's because you were injured, who doesn't know that you were promoted to a fearless knight at the age of thirty-one, and the Jiang family can compete with your sister. It's been 16 years since you entered the late stages, and it seems that the injury has had a big impact on you. Jiang Li was reluctant to talk about his cultivation, but he was quite concerned about Ding Qi.
"It's nice to be able to get a life back. Ding Qi still had palpitations in his heart.
"I went to the scene the next day to check and saw that the ground was charred and black, and the corpses were strewn all over the field, but I didn't find my sister's body, only a fragment of her clothes. What happened then? Now that no one is telling me. Jiang Li was haunted by the attack on the Ding family.
"At that time, the sky was full of arm-thick lightning, covering a radius of hundreds of meters, and black lines several meters long even appeared around it, and it is estimated that these black lines are spatial cracks, which can suck nearby things in.
One of the black lines appeared next to Yao'er's carriage, and I was dodging the lightning with Kui'er, and I could only watch as Yao'er was sucked in, and before that Yao'er had lost her breath from the poisoned arrow.
Later, the lightning was too dense, and I really couldn't dodge, so I could only resist with luck and fighting spirit, until the fighting energy was exhausted and crushed the three ancestral talismans, so I could hold on until the lightning ended, and finally there was a lightning bolt that broke through the talisman.
I no longer have a fighting spirit to protect myself, in order to avoid the injury of Kui'er in my arms, I have to use my back to resist, and the seventh meridian flowing through my back from that day on is not smooth. Even if you take so many elixirs, you can't completely repair them, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to make any more progress in this life. Thinking of this, Ding Qi's face turned disgraced.
"Poisoned arrows? Our country's archers rarely use poison, and Wan Mai, the commander of the Jiang Mansion's personal guards, never uses poison when he is good at traps. ”
"Some time ago, there was accurate intelligence to confirm that the operation that night was planned by the Cao State Supervision Department, and there was a high-status artificial response in my country. Ding Qi said fiercely.
"Cao Guo? Why didn't you say it earlier? The Jiang family used all their strength to find out who was making trouble, and if this revenge was not avenged, I swore that I would not be a person. Jiang Li crushed the teacup in his hand.
"I was in a distant place when I got the information, and I didn't have time to tell you about it. "Ding Qi can't tell the story of being a secret spy in Lu State.
"The commander's mansion is in charge, and Prince Wuwei has arrived. The guard shouted at the door.
"Shao Dianzhang is here, he doesn't know you, so I'll greet you. Jiang Li straightened his clothes and walked out of the gatehouse.
Shaodian Zhang was promoted to dominate the knight, and before he was named "Prince Wuwei", he basically practiced hard at home, and he had never seen Ding Qi, a man of the year in the capital.
When Ding Qi was young, he was willful in the capital for a period of time, punching the king's relatives and kicking the children of the powerful, and he had many troubles, but he also got to know a lot of people.
"The Seven Elders of the Senate Wei Guogong arrived. Not long after Jiang Li left, he shouted again outside the door.
Ding Qi pulled the corners of his clothes, helped him to put on his head, and walked out of the gatehouse with a smile on his face.
"The little nephew got up to meet Master Long. Ding Qi walked down the steps and saluted Long Dang.
"Hehe, it's Ding Xian's nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I look quite energetic. Let's go, let me see how powerful your old man is now, and it will be more difficult to meet him in the future. "Long Dang came with his son, Long Kun, the commander of the equipment department, and followed his own Lao Tzu, Long Kun's name naturally couldn't be reported.
Ding Qi welcomed Long Dang and the others to the main hall of the middle courtyard.
Jiang Xi was in charge of accompanying the guests in the main hall, and he was chatting with his immediate boss, Shao Dianzhang.
"Duke Wei Guo has arrived, presumably Commander Long has also come. "When the guests enter the middle courtyard, the servants will take a roll call, and Jiang Xi can know in advance who is coming.
Shaodian showed sharp eyes, saw the crowd walking towards the main hall early, and asked, "Who is the one who led the way for Duke Weiguo?"
"I don't know you, but he is the protector of the country, my brother-in-law. Jiang Xi looked at Shao Dianzhang in surprise, didn't the commander of the Commander's Mansion learn about the history of the Commander's Mansion?
"Oh, it's your ex's son. Shaodian Zhang came to his senses, and at this moment he had a lot of complaints in his heart, but every one of them involved the king's taboos, and he had to hold it in his stomach.
The Ding family is known as the cornerstone of the military, but after Shao Dianzhang took office, this cornerstone is no different from being dug up; the staff department in charge of Ding Dao has never given his predecessor a headache, but Jiang Xi is suspected of serious strokes in office, and everything is premised on not offending people and not taking the blame; the Eighth Army Corps, which is listed as the "three ace legions," is currently in a state of semi-exile, not to mention that it is fortunate that it can be sent to the battlefield without civil strife.
This has always made Shaodian Zhang, the first person in the military, depressed, and he may become the most aggrieved commander in the history of Shaodian State. If it weren't for the fact that Qi was in the midst of domestic fighting, Cao Guo suffered a big loss in Gushan Town, and it would not have been able to slow down for a few years, and it would be difficult for Shaodian Zhang to ensure that Shaodian Guo's army would not suffer defeat when fighting abroad.
All the current situation is attributed to the succession of Shao Dian Dan, and the evolution of the kingdom's military into this situation is inextricably linked to Ding Dao's suicide. Shaodian Zhang was promoted by Shaodian Dan, and he didn't dare to say it knowing the reason, and his mood was very complicated when he saw Ding Qi.
"Old man Long, please, you sit down first, the little nephew has already sent someone to inform his father, and he will come out later." Jiang Xi welcomed them into the main hall.
Jiang Tong was chatting with Ding Kui in the backyard, as the protagonist of this grand ceremony, he would not show up in the main hall until more than half of the guests had arrived, and he would always have some posture when he stepped into the threshold of the seventh level.
"Grandpa, I only know that the Dou Qi is transformed into a Dou Qi when it reaches the stage of Dominating the Knight, and it can form a specific thing, so what kind of form does it take when it reaches the Legendary Knight stage?" Ding Kui found an opportunity to ask this question that he had been speculating about for a long time.
"Well, don't say it's you, it's just that I didn't know it until I broke through, and it wasn't until I stepped into this realm that I understood why my predecessors didn't say it, and people who didn't reach this realm couldn't understand the changes in Dou Qi at this level.
It's not that I won't tell you, because if you know now, it will make you troubled in the process of promotion in the future, thus blocking your path to promotion.
There are many legendary knights and epic knights among the ancestors of the Jiang family, but there is no record of their fighting spirit in the inheritance, and there are even ancestral teachings that have been passed down, and it is not allowed to ask about the cultivation experience above level seven.
I asked several other families, and their inheritances are like this, and they are not allowed to tell their juniors about the realm above level seven, which is a tradition of knights. People with combat power above level 7 are not allowed to shoot at will, and part of the reason is that they are worried about affecting their juniors. Jiang Tong pondered the words to explain to Ding Kui, worried that saying something wrong would affect Ding Kui's cultivation in the future.
me, what's so mysterious? I guess it's a state that will subvert cognition. According to the physical laws of the earth, it is speculated that the Dou Qi Filling corresponds to the Fighting Blade Knight, the Dou Qi detachment corresponds to the Shield Breaking Knight, the Dou Qi armor corresponds to the Dreadnought Knight, and the Dou Qi Transformation corresponds to the Dominating Knight.
Ding Kui pretended to be taught, but he still couldn't help but guess in his heart.
"The four elders of the Senate, Wen Guogong, arrived. ”
"The Ninth Elder of the Senate, Rong Guogong, arrived. ”
"The six elders of the Senate, the Duke of the Elder Law, have arrived. ”
"The magician will always fold and the president will arrive. ”
"The second elder of the Senate, Zhong Guogong, arrived. ”
"The Knights' General Assembly Prince Rongzheng has arrived. ”
"The Grand Elder of the Senate Dingguo Gong has arrived. ”
Jiang Tong's "promotion ceremony" will be held at noon, and all the invited guests will come to the door before noon.
When Yang Zhao arrived, Jiang Tong took Ding Kui to the main hall. Jiang Yang is considered to be a family and has a close relationship, Yang Ling, the widow of Jiang Qi, the grandson of Jiang Tong, is still in the Anguo Mansion, and Yang Zhao is still the head of the Senate, and he came to Jiang Tong to give some face.
Some of the guests present were Jiang Tong's old acquaintances, and those who were not familiar with him had also seen Jiang Tong many times, but no one knew the fifteen-year-old young man around him.
"Let me guess whose child this is," Yang Zhao usually spoke to Jiang Tong very casually, "He can't be the little grandson of the master of the family, there are not many people who can take you with him on this occasion." ”
"Kui'er, come and meet the Duke of Dingguo. Jiang Tong did not deny it.
"Ding Kui visited Dingguo Gong. ”
"Tut-tut, you're the little hero who fought against the demon rat. The Senate also held a special meeting for your business, breaking the rules that had been followed for thousands of years, and making us old things very embarrassed. "Yang Zhao, the big man of the nobles of the kingdom, has an impression of Ding Kui.
"At the age of fourteen, he made a great contribution to tearing the earth and sealing the city, who else in the history of the Shaodian Kingdom? If there are more such people and things in the kingdom, I am willing to hold a few more special meetings. "Zhongguo Gong Xuanyuanxiong's attitude is different from Yang Zhao's, but there are some suspicions of over-praise.
"It was a coincidence. Sixth-level demon rat, except for Brother Jiang, which of you has the ability to kill it, when the Ding family is at its peak, it may not be able to deal with a sixth-level demonic beast in a complete state.
You people should not boast about the children, if there is no Gongliang Master who hits the magic rat, and Fu Ji fights with the demon rat again, it is a very dangerous thing for several of them to encounter the demon rat. "Only Long Dang dares to say such a thing that is suspected of offending people.
