Chapter 83: Imperial Brigadier General Extreme North Demon General
() Three days later, an engagement ceremony was held as scheduled.
Located in the East City of the Empire, the Yuhu Hotel, named for its backing to the Yuhu Lake of the Magic Equipment Branch of the Imperial Magic Energy Research Institute, is now closed and has no lights or decorations.
But inside the hotel, it was already full of distinguished guests.
…
Governor Jiang was sitting in a corner of the wedding banquet hall, already dazzled.
Darling, almost all of Di Du's upper-class soul families and founding families of the empire have arrived. Although the Third Duke and His Majesty have not arrived yet, they are probably waiting for the finale.
The people sitting at the nearest table under the stage were all close relatives of both men and women. There were only about ten people sitting there at this time, including Su Yuewen's wife, whom they had met that night when they were gathering with their families.
She was chatting and laughing in a low voice with a middle-aged woman who looked very graceful. While the middle-aged woman was talking to her, she would look at a middle-aged man sitting solemnly opposite her from time to time.
He knew this man and had seen it vaguely on the magic vision. He was one of the nine founding princes of the empire, the head of the Xie family, the hero of Jiangnan Star City, and the first-class founding hero of the empire, Xie He. He also seemed to be the biological father of Marquis Yongwu.
There was a sense of joy between his brows, but he still looked very serious and dull. At this time, he was sitting at the table, wondering what he was thinking.
But sitting between the man and the woman was a beautiful and unparalleled little girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
She seemed to be a little preoccupied. From time to time she looked at the two young men and women on the stage who were hugging each other and whispering, and then, it seemed, she was a little angry. Every time she curled her lips, her beautiful little face
, the two small dimples on the cheeks will twirl and twirl, which is really cute.
…
Xie Ning'er was thinking blankly at this moment.
Things have happened one after another in the past few days, which makes the little girl quite overwhelmed. First, her brother suddenly rose through the ranks, and it turned out that he was the complete legacy of his ancestor Yu Feigong and accepted the title of His Majesty.
I haven't recovered from that incident yet.
But I was particularly shocked by Big Brother's Yuhu Declaration, which has recently started to spread wildly in major universities in the empire!
As she listened to her classmates' jealous and vivid narrations, Xie Ning'er felt more and more that her eldest brother was truly a first-class good man in the world. While the little girl's heart was filled with glory and sweetness, she suddenly became even more adventurous.
There was a hint of sourness.
In this life, a girl can have her future husband do such a thing for her and make such a touching declaration... It's so romantic! So touching!
That Susu...she is also very lucky.
The little girl thought angrily.
However, only a girl like her is worthy of being a big brother... With her as my sister-in-law, I don't think there is anything unsatisfactory, right?
She thought again.
…
Then, when I was busy busying myself with my brother's engagement ceremony in the past few days, I suddenly heard that the reason why His Majesty was sure that my brother would reunite his soul for Duke Yu Fei was because... the eldest brother and his second brother were having an affair.
A duel!
And this duel...that second brother...no! That Xie Yun! Actually...
When she thought of this, Xie Ning'er's face suddenly became a little lost, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.
How could it be like this? Why did the second brother who loved me so much when he was a child become like this when he grew up...
But, fortunately, the eldest brother finally got a blessing in disguise, and finally the hardships came to an end, otherwise... Xie Ning'er's face turned pale, and she was filled with fear.
Fortunately, kind people are blessed by God. I think back then, my eldest brother almost married that bitch for her. Huh, if my eldest brother hadn't been wise in times of crisis, his life would have been ruined!
The little girl suddenly remembered that day when her elder brother suddenly kissed her, and her face instantly turned red.
For a moment, the little girl seemed to feel disgusted when she saw Su Su on the stage. Why, her brother would not only pamper her in the future.
She curled her lips again and thought angrily.
…
"Xiao Su, I envy you for having such a wonderful daughter and son-in-law."
While the little girl was full of thoughts, Zhu Dingbang, the chief minister of the imperial cabinet, was smiling, raising his glass to Su's father in front of him, and drank it down with a slight greeting.
"Sir, the First Assistant is ridiculous. I really didn't expect such a turn regarding the children."
Su's father also smiled and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, but his eyes looked at the two protagonists who were whispering in a corner of the stage.
…
"Xie Ning, why are there so many people...and they are all big shots? I, I have some stage fright..." Su Su said distressedly while nestling in the arms of her beloved man.
"It doesn't matter, I don't know most of them - they are all invited by His Majesty." There was also a trace of bitterness in the young man's eyes, but he comforted them softly.
"Anyway, didn't you learn all the procedures yesterday? This is not as simple as getting married. When His Majesty and the three princes arrive, the ceremony will officially begin. We will exchange rings, and I will put the aqua blue ring on you.
Then the banquet will begin, we will walk around in a group and toast with wine, and there will be nothing else for us to do."
"Then, when will Your Majesty and the others come? I feel like the longer I wait, the more nervous I become..." Su Su's face showed an even more distressed look.
"I really don't know about this..." Xie Ning said with a bitter smile.
"It's an honor for people to come to the engagement ceremony. How dare I ask them when they will come? How about you go and accompany your college classmates and friends? I think you will feel more relaxed when you are with them."
Xie Ning pursed his lips at Xiaoqiao and his group of girls who were chatting animatedly at the table.
…
"It's better not to." Su Su didn't know what she thought of, but she suddenly smiled.
"You don't know, Xiaoqiao is so annoying lately. She keeps talking to me about our... our future... future son's little butt..." She said shyly.
"What kind of quirk is this?"
Xie Ning was immediately surprised.
My son hasn't even started having sex yet, but his beautiful little butt is already being obsessed with by a young girl? Also, what kind of weird worldview, outlook on life and values does it take to create such a magical fetish for men's buttocks?
He thought with a weird look on his face.
Just as I was about to ask what happened, I saw the concierge at the door singing loudly: "The founding first-class Wei Guogong, Mr. Meng, has arrived, the founding first-class British Duke, Mr. Yang, has arrived, and the founding first-class Duke, Mr. Xiao, has arrived.
"
Everyone immediately looked at the door.
…
The three old men, one fat, one thin, and one tall, whom I had seen countless times on Magic Vision, all walked in the door with smiles on their faces. Besides the fat one and the tall one, the thin old man in the lead was actually dressed in straight clothes.
Military uniform - that is the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Department, Duke Meng Gu of the State of Wei.
Before people had time to wonder why Duke Wei was wearing a military uniform, they saw Duke Wei striding onto the stage and heading straight for Xie Ning. Duke Ding of England followed closely behind.
"Xie Ning, Major of the Demonic War of the Far North Army?" Duke Wei strode up to Xie Ning and asked calmly.
…
What's going on?
The crowd was full of surprise, gradually became quiet, and stared at Duke Wei.
A surprised look appeared in Xie Ning's eyes, but he still responded respectfully.
But he saw Duke Wei looking at him up and down, but he frowned: "Go and change into military uniforms. How do you look like a soldier wearing such soft clothes on the big day?"
Xie Ning looked at the legendary military boss and couldn't laugh or cry. He was wearing a Chinese dress that must be worn for major ceremonies. However, he was just stunned, stood at attention, saluted, and strode backstage.
Duke Wei nodded with satisfaction, but waited leisurely on the spot. Only Su Su on the stage was still looking at him curiously.
"Little girl, are you today's heroine?" Duke Wei Guo also looked at her for a few times and suddenly asked.
"Yes..." Su Su suppressed her shame and saluted in front of the commander in military uniform.
"Well, he is a good boy." Duke Wei nodded approvingly. Just as he was about to say something else, his eyes lit up and a heroic young man in straight military uniform walked out.
…
Duke Wei looked at the young man standing still in front of him and nodded again.
He suddenly took out a document from his pocket, unfolded it and read it aloud: "Order of the Imperial Armed Forces Headquarters: From the day this order is issued, Xie Ning, the battalion commander of a certain unit of the Imperial Northern Army, will be relieved of all military duties and will be immediately reorganized into the Supreme Army.
Northern Army Demon General Sequence. Xie Ning, the Demonic War Major of the Far North Army, will be promoted to Demon War Brigadier General with immediate effect! As usual, his military position will follow the Demon General’s personal wishes, either focusing on cultivation, or taking care of leading the army, and will be appointed separately.”
The whole place was in an uproar.
Did you hear that right? The military rank is just promoted to brigadier general. But as a great demon warrior, you can only join the imperial demon general sequence after entering the star-level demon battle?! Moreover, it is still slightly inferior to the selection of the Royal Demon War Military Academy.
Even more stringent, known as the Royal Demonic War Military Academy of the Army...the Northern Demonic Generals?!
…
Xie Ning was even more stunned! He looked at Duke Wei in front of him, his lips moved, and he was about to say something.
"Don't be proud!"
But Duke Wei said sharply again: "Boy, I don't know whether Lao Yang and Lao Xiao fought hard for you in the military department, and even His Majesty spoke for you. I finally agreed, whether it was right or wrong.
This is also the gift that the military has finally decided to bring you! But you have to know that before you advance to the star-level magic battle that matches your military rank, your military rank can only be reduced, not promoted!"
"You must also clearly understand that talent is talent, and hard work is hard work. I hope you can be worthy of the general epaulette pinned on you so early in the future! The road to magic warfare training is extremely long, and the foundation is laid between the ages of zero and twenty.
Twenty to forty are the twenty years when the soul spiral is strongest, the twenty years when progress is the fastest, and the twenty years when there is no room for failure! Now that your foundation is extremely solid, what kind of building can you build on it?
How high you are depends on the remaining twenty years you have, do you understand?"
"Understood! Please rest assured." Xie Ning answered loudly, holding out his chest.
Immediately, he showed a hint of bitterness: "Commander, but I don't want that military rank..."
…
Duke Wei was furious: "What? When can you bargain over military orders? I'm not going to give you any room for bargaining! If you get promoted, you will be promoted. As long as you are not stupid enough to be complacent and slack off, you are a sure-shot future star.
Do you think Yao is not worthy of the military's special attention? Stand at attention!"
Xie Ning, who was about to say something with a wry smile, instead folded his legs and stood in silence.
However, they saw that the Duke of Wei in front of them had touched his pocket again and took out a pair of epaulettes. The shining gold stars and dark light vortex on it immediately dazzled everyone's eyes.
Then, the epaulets slowly appeared on the shoulders of the young man standing tall and solemn in Taichung.
"Okay, go and change out of the military uniform. It's really not a good idea to wear a murderous military uniform on this day of joy." Duke Wei patted the young man's shoulder, stepped back and took a closer look, with a flash in his eyes.
Approving, he spoke again.
With a solemn look on his face, Xie Ning couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. He saluted dejectedly and then walked backstage.
…
However, the three princes walked off the stage neatly and walked towards the seats prepared for them.
When passing by Su Su, the British Duke Yang Qi turned around with a smile on his face: "How are you, little girl? I know you have suffered a lot for the Xie family.
But now that I have given you a general husband, you are finally not wronged? Your general made your Yuhu Declaration a few days ago, but it spread throughout the country. If I had a granddaughter, I guess she would be crying.
I’m shouting that I’m going to steal your husband from you.”
Su Su, who was watching her lover leave in a daze, suddenly came back to her senses. Her face was already red with embarrassment, but she still replied calmly and generously: "Grandpa Yang, you are so complimentary. Xie Ning is also following me.
Having said that you have always cared for him, I would like to thank you again on behalf of Xie Ning."
"Okay, good boy. Both of them are good boys. I hope you can manage Xie Ning's house well and be his good wife in the future."
Yang Qi nodded with a gentle smile and walked off the stage to his seat.
