Monarch of Evernight: Enter the 117 Lobbyist
bsp;In fact, after dinner, Qianye didn't quite understand what Wei Potian's two elders wanted to do. This meal can be regarded as a genuine home-cooked meal. The dishes are rich and there are no complicated table manners. It is just like an ordinary family eating together. There are only Wei Dongming, Wei Bainian, Wei Potian and him, plus one person who seems to have a high status in the Wei family. Staff.
Wei Potian is extremely honest, and whenever Wei Hou opens his mouth, he is usually lecturing him. Wei Bainian and the staff seemed to be quite elegant people. The topics they used to liven up the atmosphere were all about the customs and customs of various places, as well as the aristocratic hobbies that Qianye had only heard of the names but had no idea of the details. Qianye was not good at communication. When he spoke, he would simply answer questions briefly. What was strange was that they did not ask more about Qianye's origins.
When Qianye said goodbye, Wei Potian insisted on seeing him off and jumped into the driver's seat of the off-road vehicle without waiting for an answer. Qianye looked at Wei Potian's face, looking a little depressed and wanting to vomit his bitterness.
The off-road vehicle roared out as if it was about to fly. Qianye lived just one block away, but Wei Potian made a big circle in the opposite direction, but it only took him about the same time as usual to reach the gate of the small courtyard. Obviously, only such a high speed could make him feel better.
Wei Dongming and Wei Bainian were upstairs watching the off-road vehicle rush out of the street. The staff had already retired, and not even the maid was left in the room. Only the two brothers were kneeling and talking.
Wei Bainian said first: "I have seen the scene. The remains of Wu Zhengnan's corpse were ignited by the flames of the Force. Qiyang could not do this, and his friend did not seem to have such Force attributes. He thought for a while and then said: "It is not that there is no one at the expeditionary force headquarters. It is impossible to say that there is no difference in the scene. But I heard that Qiyang was the one who dealt with it from the beginning to the end. They didn't even ask a question." Is there anyone else who survived that time who can testify?"
Although Wei Hou came to Yongye Continent quietly, his target was still too eye-catching, so after he entered Heiliu City and went directly to Wei Potian's office, he never left the residence. Whatever you want to see, Wei Bainian can go there one by one.
Hearing this, Wei Dongming said calmly: "Not even the attitude of the 'black-faced Xiao' is thunderous and rainy. When did he become so easy to talk to? I, Bowang Hou, am not so proud."
"Brother, what you mean is that Qiyang is going to overthrow Wu Zhengnan this time, and someone has actually paved the road to the expeditionary force headquarters behind the scenes? But it's not my Wei family's hand?"
Wei Dongming nodded and said: "It is possible, but whether Qiyang knows it or not is between two minds." He smiled coldly and said: "Otherwise, why would Zhang Youheng be so eager to clear things up after the accident? If he If I had known that the Expeditionary Force Headquarters had this ambiguous attitude now, I would not have just let it go."
Wei Bainian frowned and said, "This person is too flexible."
"It doesn't matter. Although his surname is Zhang, he is not a member of the Zhang clan. There is nothing wrong with being more cautious. Just use him less in the future." Wei Dongming didn't care much about the military police inspector's withdrawal midway, and just asked , "What do you think of Qiyang's friend?".
“A good knife, but difficult to control.”
Wei Dongming was silent for a while this time before saying: "There are people behind him."
Wei Bainian also agreed. Qianye did not look like someone who could plan and appease Xiao Lingshi.
At this time, in Qianye's small courtyard, Wei Potian shouted to Ah Qi and Ah Jiu who were welcoming out of the room, "Bring the wine!"
Qianye glanced at him, walked into the room, took the two bottles of spirits handed over by Ah Qi, and dropped a drop of homemade stimulant into each.
Wei Potian stretched out his hand to grab a bottle, raised his neck and drank half of the bottle in one breath, then slammed the bottle on the table and said bitterly: "You said, I promised so many benefits, that Why doesn’t this guy want to stay? Isn’t his grandma trying to make things difficult for me?”
"Which guy?"
"Who else is there? Uncle Liutang. To be able to take over as division commander, you must not only be a general, but also need to know military affairs. At the moment, he is really the only one in the family who is free." At this point, Wei Po Tian couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
After Wei Bainian came back, he went to visit while the iron was hot, but he was sent out respectfully in less than half an hour, so naturally the negotiation was not concluded. As long as there is a second choice, how can he, the young master Wei, accept such birdiness?
Qianye felt a slight movement in his heart. It turned out that Wei Bainian was the Wei family's candidate to take over the defense area of the 7th Division, but he had other motives for watching Wei Hou's actions.
The Wei family probably regarded this action against Wu Zhengnan as another opportunity for the prince to practice in actual combat, so they laid out the overall situation, but Wei Potian still needed to handle the details himself. After bumping into each other until now, the last step is to find a suitable candidate to reorganize the 7th Division.
However, even Qianye, an outsider, could see that someone like Wei Bainian seemed a bit overqualified to be stationed in the Yongye Continent Defense Zone. It seems that Wei Hou's original intention was to let Wei Potian retreat in the face of difficulties and let go of this small place early. But if Wei Potianzhen can convince Wei Bainian to stay, that would be good. At least the Wei family has an extra base on Yongye Continent, although it is a bit useless.
At this moment, Qianye thought of the contents of the box that Song Zining gave him, and also thought of the conversation between Wei Bainian and his staff at the dinner table, and suddenly he vaguely grasped its meaning.
"Why didn't he take over as commander of the Seventh Division?"
"How do I know! God knows what Uncle Liutang is thinking. If he has no intention of staying at all, then why would he come all the way to Heiliu City!" Wei Potian complained while gulping down wine. In the blink of an eye, he poured the entire other bottle of wine into his stomach.
Wei Potian kept chattering for more than half an hour, feeling drunk and already a little unsteady on his feet, so he let out a long sigh, called the guards who came over, and left unsteadily. Listening to Wei Potian's complaints, most of them were focused on handling trivial matters these days. He should have been holding in his anger for a long time and just took this opportunity to vent together.
During the whole process, Qianye spent most of the time just listening quietly. As the prince of Bowang Hou and the future helmsman of the family, this is a responsibility that Wei Potian will encounter sooner or later, and it will only be more complicated and complicated than the small Heiliu City. And Wei Potian obviously knew it very well, so all he needed tonight was an audience.
After Wei Potian left, Qianye walked into the bedroom, looked at the wooden box placed by the bed and began to think deeply. He could now confirm that the contents inside were prepared for Wei Bainian's matter. Qianye thought for a while, shook his head and laughed. Is this considered "giving him what he wants"?
The evening passed very peacefully. Qianye was a person who did whatever he thought of, so he went to Wei Bainian's residence early the next morning to ask for an audience.
When Wei Bainian asked what he wanted, Qianye pondered for a moment, knowing that he was not good at persuading with long words, so he got straight to the point: "General Wei should be the best candidate to take over the 7th Division. But I don't know why he refuses to take over? ”
Wei Bainian asked: "Then why do you think I should take over the position of teacher?"
Qianye was startled and found that this question was indeed difficult to answer.
As soon as the words "Qiancheng" came out of his mouth, Qianye shook his head first. With Wei Bainian's qualifications and background, how could he not find a full-time division commander in any major army? The prospects are naturally much better than the expeditionary force, which is regarded as second-rate.
Qianye thought for a while and asked: "I wonder if General Wei has any plans to go up to the next level?"
Only between life and death is the easiest way to break through. This is the creed of the strong men of the Qin Empire. Many warrior-level warriors have come all the way. The war zone where Blackstream City is located is about to usher in a war with the dark race, which may attract those who are determined to become stronger.
Wei Bainian smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "I know my qualifications well in my heart, and I'm afraid there is no possibility of my strength going any further. In this case, it's better to live a more stable life so that my family can feel at ease."
This immediately blocked Qianye’s next words. If, as Wei Bainian himself said, his strength has reached a bottleneck and it is difficult to break through, then he will probably consider a relatively stable life, which is human nature. Especially the children of these aristocratic families have a lot of worries from their parents, wives, children, relatives, and subordinates, so it is not impossible that they will lose all their energy. Perhaps he is the only general in the Wei family who can lead troops, and there is a reason behind this.
The living room suddenly fell silent. Wei Bainian looked very calm and showed no sign of impatience.
"But there are tens of thousands of people living in the entire defense areas of these two cities"
Wei Bainian laughed and said: "The tens of thousands of people in Yongye Continent are not more important than the people of my Far East Province. If you are not here, it will be the same if you work in other places." The wording of his words is still reasonable. Quite politely, for the empire, the local people are of course much more important than the residents of the abandoned land.
Qianye took out the wooden box, put it on the table, and said, "Then, what if I use this as a reward?"
Wei Bainian's eyes flashed slightly, then he laughed and said, "You must also know that Young Master Qiyang actually promised me a lot of conditions."
At this time, Wei Bainian could see that Qianye's behavior when holding things was a bit nervous and unnatural, and his words were very jerky. It was obviously the first time he had done such a thing. But he didn't point it out. He just held the wooden box in his hand and played with it. He was not in a hurry to open it and looked at Qianye with interest.
Qianye answered very calmly, "Potian didn't tell me the details, but he did say that he made good terms for you, but you didn't agree."
"Then I'm curious. What did the young master bring me?" Wei Bainian smiled and untied the jade button. The lid of the box was just pushed open, revealing the corner of a smaller and more delicate wooden box inside. From this angle, you can see a gold stamp on the top of the box inside.
As soon as Wei Bainian's eyes touched the seal, his expression suddenly changed, his chest rose and fell sharply, and the hand that was holding the wooden box casually trembled obviously, so he had to close the lid of the box and put it back on the table.
He looked up at Qianye, showed a wry smile and said, "What a rude thing! It turned out to be such a thing!"
Wei Bainian took a deep breath and slowly opened the wooden box again. The lid of the box was completely opened, revealing a palm-sized exquisite black lacquer box inside. There was an eye-catching and ancient seal on the box, and every stroke revealed the vicissitudes of time.
Qianye barely recognized the ancient character ‘佶’ on the seal because he had read the instruction manual for this item.
