Beasts become gods

Chapter 260 The drunkard’s intention is not to drink wine

Qiao Anguo is very busy.

The Qing'an Festival is called a festival but is actually a disaster. Every time we celebrate the festival, many problems within the army will be exposed, which have been highlighted now. In the past, all the soldiers in the army were very skilled, and their spiritual and martial talents were much higher than ordinary people.

I don't know much about it, but since the opening of this military region and people swarming into the military region's sphere of influence, the soldiers have begun to feel anxious.

The veteran is pretty good at dealing with such situations. When encountering a drunkard who is causing trouble, he knows how to stun him immediately with spiritual methods, drag him to a place where he can rest, and then feed him a Qingling Pill.

Among the prepared elixirs, Qingling Pill is the most common elixir. It refreshes the mind, replenishes energy and prolongs life. It is often used as supplies for patrols and scouts on daily basis, so that drunkards will not make things worse.

The new recruits were more panicked. People started to argue and started to talk to each other, insisting on distinguishing Chou Yinmao. As a result, they became more and more helpful, and what was originally a small conflict turned into a tense atmosphere. In the end, the centurion still let

After mediating, the company commanders worked hard to reduce major issues to trivial matters, and the conflicts among the people were resolved.

Qiao Anguo can be said to be very tired these days. What happened in the Galan Province of the Tenkara Empire recently made him worried. He didn't get a good sleep all night long, and he slept and woke up for a while. At dawn,

I didn't sleep deeply, so I woke up early to prepare for this annual Qing'an Festival.

Qiao Anguo boasted that he would have no problem managing the army to defeat the sea spirit beast or the ice crystal snow demon. After all, he has led troops on expeditions for decades. His own strength is rare in the world, and there are only a few who can be called opponents. The same people in the empire have

Most of the powerful people in the realm are friendly people. On weekdays, I have never violated the interests of others or persecuted innocent people, so the Southern Territory can be safe and sound. But I asked myself to give the people living in the Southern Territory Legion to

With good restraint and management, this is really beyond the scope of his ability. If he is asked to go into battle to kill the enemy, he can be invincible. The old man who is half buried in the ground still has to worry about the security of the city-state and the military region, and to maintain the stability of the people. This matter is no longer Qiao's.

What Anguo can do.

Compared to these, there were two other pieces of news that troubled him.

A few days ago, there was a turmoil in Wanfeng City in Dinghai Province. Han Dongsheng and Feng Muyang were attacking each other to excuse themselves. The imperial court held accountable the tribute of silver and the fault of the stolen treasures would be shouldered by the other party.

, the two sides frantically vented their accumulated grievances, and the people in Wanfeng City complained endlessly. One was a corrupt official appointed by the imperial court who claimed to be assisting but was actually a coercion. The other was an independent soldier who wanted to break away from the imperial court's control and was ready to attack.

The lord of the main city who planned and then acted.

Last night, I actually received a letter from the palace of the city lord of Wanfeng City in Dinghai Province. On the day of Qing'an Festival, the city lord Feng Muyang will visit with his relatives to celebrate the festival.

Another news is even more inexplicable. Zhu Boming, the lord of Lanwu City in Pinglan Province, also brought his family to the Southern Territory Legion, saying that he wanted to have a drink with Qiao Anguo until he got drunk.

Two important city lords from Dinghai Province and Pinglan Province are coming here. This is something that has never happened in the past. Thinking of what happened in Galan Province in the north of the empire, I seem to have an answer in my mind.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It seems that even the two city lords who respect themselves as soldiers can't calm down. It's a lie to come to the Southern Territory to beg for wine and gluttony. It's true to tie yourself to their front.

It's just that I don't know if the two city lords have agreed to come together, or if they have their own agendas, they have prepared some excuses and come to the Southern Territory Legion to negotiate with them at the right time.

According to rational analysis, the two city lords probably did not communicate with each other. They probably came with their own purposes and used the Qing'an Festival to celebrate, but in fact they wanted to achieve their own goals.

If this is the case, please invite Yang Chengfu and Cui Quji to come over and wait and see what happens. See what medicines these two city lords are selling in their gourds. Please also call Qiao Kexin and Qiao Bang. Kexin is already an adult, so

You should learn from your elders how to deal with it. As for Qiao Bang, you can't treat him like a child. Qiao Anguo judged that Qiao Bang's mind was no lower than that of Kexin. In this kind of intrigue and intrigue, Qiao Bang might be able to learn some tricks.

Just like this, Qiao Bang, who originally grabbed the shrimp meat and sucked it, was told by the soldiers of the Guards that it was General Qiao's wish to order him and Qiao Kexin to rush to the Chinese army's tent.

Qiao Kexin was nowhere to be seen. Qiao Bang hadn't seen much of her since she returned to the Southern Territory Legion. Of course, he was also very busy. He only went back to Qiao Village to rest late at night, and he didn't even see Yang Shuqi a few times.

Qiao Bang decided to eliminate all the seafood in front of him before going to the Chinese army's tent. He usually eats inland dishes in the college, but after eating, the ingredients from the sea are the most appetizing. The crystal clear artillery shrimp meat was cut into pieces.

Into layers of small slices, the flesh of fresh spiny shellfish is milky white, and the shell itself is jet black. The tail of the huge sea ray is still swinging, like a cattail fan, full of vitality. There are also those that have been cut.

The huge armored crab is cut into long and thin slices of barracuda, and there are all the ingredients on the side. Just looking at this table will make you feel hungry and hungry.

Eating the meat of these sea spirit beasts is nothing to Qiao Bang. The soldiers of the Southern Territory Legion eat seafood every day, and most of the meat they taste is unintelligent seafood, and these sea spirit beasts

The meat was obtained from cleaning up the battlefield in the last two battles. Most of the veterans were tired of eating the meat of sea spirit beasts, but the recruits were not yet resistant. They still liked to taste the fresh taste of the spirit beast meat. After all,

Life was not happy in the past, but after coming to the Southern Territory Legion, I could have a good meal every time.

After getting rid of the seafood on the table as quickly as possible, Qiao Bang summoned the little meat bun and lay on the back of the little meat bun. He firmly stabilized his lower body with his knees. He adjusted his body shape several times and used clever strength to finally sit down.

Steady, he sat diagonally on the back of the little meat bag, avoiding the crowds and heading towards the martial arts arena.

Qiao Bang studied this reclining posture for a long time, but his body was still too young. He couldn't bend his legs when he was sitting on the back of the little meat bun, so he staggered the angle and put one leg on the back of the little meat bun.

One leg hangs down, which not only makes you more comfortable, but also keeps your balance and prevents you from being thrown off due to bumps.

People's attention is attracted by the little meat buns, and there is nothing that can be done about it. Who can say that the little meat buns are dazzling? Even in the daytime, they still emit a dazzling flash, and the figure running quickly is like a flash of light.

It passed by in front of the eyes, its slender tail kept swinging to attract attention, and it flew away amidst a burst of exclamations.

Even though he has been a man for two generations, Qiao Bang still can't restrain his desire to show off. For such a special existence as Little Roubao, let alone the Southern Territory, it may be difficult to find another glowing white leopard in the entire continent. It's like...

When opening a blind box, if repeated styles are frequently released, it will naturally feel boring, but if a hidden style is released all at once, the desire to tell the world cannot be hidden.

The military area is full of busy soldiers. The venue for the Qing'an Festival has been arranged in advance, with lanterns and festoons, red silk and green satin, gold bottles and jade materials everywhere. The sun shines on the pavilions, corridors, trees and irrigation canals.

, in this extremely noisy military zone, everything looks so beautiful. Tender green buds have sprouted from the branches, and everything is reminding people that spring is coming.

Arriving in front of the Chinese army's tent, he turned over and put the little meat bun back into the spiritual knot. Under the guidance of the guards, he walked into the tent and saw Yang Chengfu, Cui Quji, Qiao Wei, Qiao Min, and Zuo Ren.

Bao, Qiao Kexin had already sat down to chat. When she saw Qiao Bang coming in, Qiao Kexin stood up and grabbed Qiao Bang's hand and pulled her over. She pinched her shoulders, causing Qiao Bang to grimace in pain.

After the strength in Qiao Kexin's hand subsided, Qiao Bang listened carefully to a few people's chat and knew that City Lord Feng and City Lord Zhu, who were the talkers of the two provinces, were about to come to the Southern Territory Army. It seemed that their purpose of coming here was impure. He was thinking about the arrival of the two city Lords.

For this purpose, Cui Quji put forward a point of view that shocked Qiao Bang.

"From what I see, the two city lords should want to consolidate their relationship through marriage. Feng Muyang's second son, Feng Qingyang, and Qiao Kexin are classmates in the same college. Presumably Feng Muyang will show off his second son

, trying to see if the Southern Territory Army and Dinghai Province can form a true community of destiny. Zhu Boming's eldest son, Zhu Guangning, is two years older than Qiao Kexin. His cultivation level has reached the Spirit King realm, and he is also gifted with the Eight Star Spiritual Knot.

Qiao Kexin is a good match."

Qiao Bang listened to the usual old god, and the mysterious Cui Quji talked about the family's shortcomings. His impression of Cui Quji in the past few years was once again refreshed, but he did not expect that Cui Quji was also a gossip.

"I don't want to get married. Feng Qingyang always made me unhappy when he was in school. His attacks during training and sparring were insignificant. He doesn't match his aura. Zhu Guangning has never heard of it, so I don't want to be with him.

People we know are together!”

When Qiao Kexin heard that she was going to arrange a marriage for herself, she couldn't sit still for a moment. She stood up and hurriedly stopped the topic. Her angry look was really cute. She was at her prime age and made the elders present want to laugh. Zuo Ren

Bao couldn't help but burst into laughter, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands to prevent his smile from showing any more.

Qiao Bang was hit on the back shoulder by Qiao Kexin's knee. Although he was in pain, he turned his body sideways and looked up at Qiao Kexin's panicked expression. He suddenly felt in his heart that it was already time for his sister to get married...

…

"Since Ke Xin doesn't like them, then just find some excuse to excuse them. Ke Xin has just grown up, so it's okay to let her play for a few years before she considers getting married." Cui Quji explained in detail, which made Qiao Bang confused.

That's it. I feel that Cui Quji is quite concerned about it. He seems to be giving advice, but in fact he reminds Qiao Anguo that the two old people Yang Chengfu, the city lord and the general, and the general manager have similar status. They are already well matched. If someone mentions their children this time

If the reply to the marriage matter is vague or too intense, I'm afraid there will be no good match in the future.

Since Qiao Zhijie's death in the imperial palace, Qiao Anguo was expelled and demoted to the southern region to drive away sea spirit beasts. Apart from his granddaughter Qiao Kexin, he has no other heirs. If Qiao Kexin wants to marry, she can only let him marry her.

I don’t know how far the Southern Territory Legion will develop. It may get worse, or it may get better. If there is someone worthy of being entrusted to take on the role of general, then it doesn’t matter whether Qiao Kexin is in the Southern Territory or not.

unimportant.

After Cui Quji's reminder, Qiao Anguo took it a step further and was already thinking about what the two city lords were saying, so the topic stopped abruptly and turned to many matters related to the Qing'an Festival.

"General, don't worry. The entire Xunbao Battalion is on alert. Company commanders and centurions have been notified to order them to perform their duties in shifts. Soldiers who are resting are also not allowed to drink alcohol to ensure the personal safety and property safety of the people. In the event of disputes or conflicts,

According to the situation, I have instructed people who had conflicts to move to the joint defense camp and let them calm down before coming out."

"General, the Zhufeng Battalion has been stationed at the seaside to guard against the sudden invasion of sea spirit beasts. In order to appease the soldiers' emotions, I have asked Qiao Hongxing to prepare a large amount of food to celebrate the festival on the spot. I have told the soldiers not to drink alcohol. If they are drunk, they will be treated as such.

Military discipline."

"I have made arrangements for Director Yang to review."

Qiao Wei, Qiao Min, and Zuo Renbao all reported the situation, which made Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu, who were originally worried about today's situation, relax a lot and turned their heads to look at Cui Quji.

"Look at what I'm doing. I've already explained everything about Bixia Villa before I came out. With the four brothers Li Ruitao, Li Ruiming, Li Ruilin, and Li Ruifeng here, nothing will go wrong in Bixia Villa."

Only then did Qiao Anguo relax, and the big stone in his heart really fell.

"Since Zhu Boming is coming, let's invite Cao Yang to the martial arts arena. Before you come, let the scouts tell me what Cao Yang will do today."

"yes."

After chatting for a long time, Qiao Kexin showed some impatience behind Qiao Bang. It was obvious that these trivial girls in the military could not listen at all. The long legs with nowhere to rest and the constant changes in sitting posture were really obvious.

Qiao Bang was doing two things: while he was listening to people's discussions, he was also using the beast-sucking method to feel Qiao Kexin's anxious mood, in order to practice the use of the beast-sucking method.

This beast-absorbing method can not only be used as a secret method to assist in practice, but can also be used to immediately feel the fluctuations in mental power displayed by others when getting along with them. It is really magical.

Qiao Anguo was also silently observing the two siblings. Recalling the mysterious man in black robes he came into contact with a few months ago, he made a decision in his heart.

"Report! Lord Feng of Wanfeng City and his family have arrived at the three defense lines of the Southern Region and the North in a carriage. There are also three carriages of supplies accompanying them. They have been verified to be high-quality soldier spirits and elemental crystals from the Loulan Dynasty. Can they be released?

"

"Let go!"

"Report to the general! Lord Zhu of Lanwu City and his escort have arrived at the fifth defense line of the Eastern Joint Defense in the Southern Territory and are preparing to cross the bridge and go deeper. There are no supplies with them. Do you want to let them go?"

"Let go!"

It was dusk now, and the two city lords arrived after a long journey. The scouts' announcements came at the same time, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Judging from the distance of the defense line, Feng Muyang would arrive first, and Zhu Boming would be a little slower.

This year's Qing'an Festival is really interesting. Talkers from the two provinces come to the Southern Territory Legion, and we don't know what kind of trouble will be caused.

The sky quickly darkened, and Feng Muyang and others had already arrived at the martial arts arena. Qiao Anguo, Yang Chengfu, and Cui Quji personally greeted them. Qiao Kexin slipped away to someone unknown, obviously not wanting to get involved.

If you mention the matter of marriage, it will inevitably lead to embarrassment.

Qiao Bang stood next to the three of them. He felt that the delicious seafood he had eaten before noon had been digested, and he felt a little hungry. However, because the three elders were here, he could not let himself go. Although his appearance

He was a child, and no one said anything if he wanted to run away, but Qiao Bang was also curious about the purpose of the two city lords coming here. After all, his curiosity overshadowed everything. When Yang Chengfu dragged him over, he did not object.

He was dragged here by Yang Chengfu.

Soon, a group of people came from the distance. The leader was Feng Muyang, who was dressed in brocade clothes. He had a big face, a goatee, sword eyebrows, narrow eyes, a straight nose bridge, thin lips, and high cheekbones.

Behind him is his wife, and looking back to the left is a handsome young man, tall and wearing plain clothes. On the right are very familiar people, Feng Qinglie, Qiao Anguo, and Yang Chengfu stepped forward to greet him.

, Cui Quji also followed closely behind, and Qiao Bang followed slowly, silently reading the Colter system, and scanned the panel information of this group of people.

It turns out that the handsome young man on the left is Feng Qingyang. His figure and manners are quite good, and his facial features are similar to Feng Muyang's, but his face is quite stern, as if he has something on his mind.

Feng Qinglie still had the same arrogant look, walking in an awkward manner, gritting his teeth and puffing out his cheeks, as if he was on an outing with his family.

"General Qiao! Manager Yang! Doctor Cui! We meet again! Feng has been missing you all this time, and this time he finally hopes for the stars and the moon for a day to come and visit!"

"The presence of City Lord Feng is really a blessing for our Southern Territory Legion. The Southern Territory Army belongs to Dinghai Province, and City Lord Feng is the head of Dinghai Province. As long as City Lord Feng is in need, I will definitely help."

Listening to Qiao Anguo's tone that was neither salty nor bland, Feng Muyang started to raise his voice but could not lower it. He was secretly wondering if he was too excited. His thoughts changed quickly and he decided not to drop the topic and continue the high-profile conversation.

"Feng didn't come here empty-handed. This time he brought twenty high-quality soldier spirits, all of which were collected in the Promir Mountains. Thinking that General Qiao must be in need of soldier spirits, he sent them with the car. In addition,

I also brought various crystal stones from the Loulan Dynasty, thinking that if the military officers contracted dark or light attribute spiritual beasts, they should use them. In addition, I also prepared a lot of grains and fruit cores for next spring.

If you can plant it, you will definitely have a good harvest!"

"The Lord of the City is interested. Since this is the case, I will accept the gift. When the Lord of the City returns to Fengcheng, I will prepare another generous gift."

Feeling Feng Muyang's enthusiasm, Qiao Anguo behaved calmly and did not change his attitude because of Feng Muyang's enthusiasm.

Lord Feng can put up a front in front of the people, and he can also flatter people who need to be flattered and used. He has developed a habit of being an official for many years. He always has two faces ready and can switch between them easily.

He is also good at making things happen, watching people prepare their dishes, which is not uncommon.

After several useless conversations, Yang Chengfu invited Feng Muyang to come to the Chinese army tent to sit down and continue chatting in detail.

Feng Muyang was confused, what's the matter? He came here with full sincerity, but he didn't hold a banquet for the first time, but instead let his group enter the camp to chat? Such a plain talk?

Seemingly seeing some doubts in Feng Muyang, thinking that there must be some misunderstanding, Cui Quji spoke at the right time.

"City Lord Zhu from Lanwu City in Pinglan Province will also be here later. If City Lord Feng doesn't mind, how about we sit down together with City Lord Zhu when he arrives, and I'll order the chef to cook two plates of braised chicken with wine and wine. How about having dinner together?"

Feng Muyang's heart froze. He didn't expect Zhu Boming to come over too. He didn't know what he was doing. What he originally wanted to say was stuck in his throat and he couldn't express it. His face was gloomy and uncertain, but after a short while, his expression changed, he smiled and said,

Ran said.

"Now that Brother Zhu is coming, it's going to be really lively. It just so happens that I haven't seen him for a while. In the presence of General Qiao, I can sit down and talk about things."

After chatting, everyone entered the camp and sat down. Qiao Bang followed Yang Chengfu and stood between Yang Chengfu and Cui Quji. Yang Chengfu tapped him on the shoulder and took out a futon with two fingers.

Qiao Bang sat down on the futon, blinked his eyes, and raised his eyebrows.

Qiao Bang didn't know what Yang Chengfu's intention was, but he could tell that he must have some evil idea. He simply sat down and watched what happened, and watched what Qiao Anguo and Feng Muyang talked about.

The two then chatted some polite words. There was nothing serious in the first half, it was just chatting. They talked about all kinds of things, their parents were short-lived, and they recalled the glorious past... Qiao Anguo was infected by Feng Muyang's enthusiasm, and his words softened a bit.

Feng Muyang continued to chat, but his vigilance was still there. Both of them were testing to see what they would say next.

The conversation seemed to be getting heated, and Feng Muyang couldn't hold it back, so he revealed what he wanted to say the most.

"General Qiao, there is one thing I must say. The frost crystal dragon in the northern part of the empire has awakened, and the ice crystal snow demon tribe has moved south to invade. At present, most of the ice crystal snow demons have been blocked by the northern army. A small number of ice crystal snow demons have been blocked by the northern army.

He ran to Galan Province and fought head-on with the bandits of Galan Province. It was now a stalemate. According to unreliable rumors, the Dan Demon Meng Bugui was also in the north, fighting the Frost Crystal Dragon together with Lu Xulei.

"

"What?"

Almost in unison, Qiao Anguo, Yang Chengfu, and Cui Quji suppressed the smiles on their faces, stood up and held the edge of the table, looking at Feng Muyang in disbelief. This sudden news was really difficult to digest. The three-headed dragon from the north.

One of them actually woke up? Is the cycle wrong? Logically speaking, it should only wake up the year after next. Why has this pattern changed?

"Is this true?"

Seeing the three people's reactions, Feng Muyang felt determined in his heart. Sure enough, only with such powerful information can he grasp these three people, but he smiled apologetically and said slowly.

"How could I lie to you? This is the news from the Imperial Court. I prepared my horse and set off here as soon as I heard the news. It is said that Hong Tianying, Zhan Lu, and Ge Jianjun are resisting hard. The Imperial Court is afraid of going north.

After the territory fell, he led his troops to conquer the bandits in Galan Province and then continued north to support Brigadier Lu."

The expressions of the three of them were solemn, and their brows could no longer relax. The worst had happened. With Lu Xulei's cultivation, it was really difficult to fight against the frost crystal dragon. Cui Quji was even more confused. Meng Bugui's origin was from

In the Loulan Dynasty, after learning the Hundred Ways of Alchemy, he said he was looking for his hometown. After leaving for more than ten years, how could he appear in the northern border? Could it be a lotus with both yin and yang? A living dead, a rare lotus with flesh and bones?

For a time, the atmosphere in the camp dropped to freezing point, and it was so depressing that I could hardly breathe.

Qiao Bang had already calmed down his aura silently, and the beast-sucking method no longer worked. He held his breath and concentrated, secretly regulating his breath. He was worried about Hong Tianying's safety and wondered what was going on in the north now.

"Report! Lord Zhu of Lanwu City and his accompanying guards have arrived outside the military area!"

"Hurry up and let them go!" Qiao Anguo said without thinking. He pulled away from the chair and walked to the front of the hall. His face was no longer happy. He glanced at Yang Chengfu and Cui Quji and said to Feng Muyang.

"City Master Feng, this matter has a great impact, let me think about it for a moment or two. Thank you for the information you provided, but it is what is most needed at the moment. I am going to receive City Master Zhu now. Do you want to welcome him with me, or take a rest here temporarily?

?”

"As for General Qiao, since we have come to the Southern Territory, guests can do as they please, so I will accompany the general to welcome Brother Zhu and see if he has gained some weight recently."

Feng Muyang laughed aloud. General Qiao had no intention of talking to him at this moment, so he opened the curtain and strode out.

The sleeping lion seems to be awake.
