In fact, after dinner, Qianye didn't quite understand what Wei Potian's two elders wanted to do. This meal is a real home-cooked meal, with a rich menu and no complicated table manners, just like eating with ordinary people, only Wei Dongming, Wei Bainian, Wei Potian and him, plus a person who seems to have a lot of status in the Wei family Staff.
Wei Potian was very honest, whenever Marquis Wei opened his mouth, he was probably giving him a lecture. Wei Bainian and that staff member seemed to be quite elegant people, and the topics they used to enliven the atmosphere were all local customs and customs of various places, as well as aristocratic hobbies that Qianye had only heard the names of but didn't know the details of. Qianye was not good at communication, and occasionally he only answered questions briefly. The strange thing was that they didn't ask Qianye about his background.
When Qianye was leaving, 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, he looked a little depressed and wanted to vomit bitterness.
The off-road vehicle rushed out with a roar, as if it was about to fly. The place where Qianye lived was just one block away, but Wei Potian made a big circle in the opposite direction, but it only took about the same time as usual to reach the gate of the small courtyard. Obviously, only such a high speed can make him feel better.
Wei Dongming and Wei Bainian were upstairs watching the off-road vehicle rushing out of the street, the staff had already left, and there was not even a maid left in the room, only the two brothers sat down to talk.
Wei Bainian first said: "I have seen the scene, the remains of Wu Zhengnan's body were ignited by the flames of the original force, Qiyang can't do it, and his friend doesn't seem to have this attribute of the original force." He thought for a while Want to say again: "The headquarters of the Expeditionary Army is not empty. It is impossible to say that there is no difference on the scene, but I heard that Qiyang came forward to deal with it from the beginning to the end. They didn't even ask if there were any Others who survived can come forward and testify."
Although Wei Hou came to the Eternal Night Continent quietly, his target was still too obvious, so after he entered Heiliu City and went directly to Wei Potian's office, he never went out of his residence. Wei Bainian went to see all the things he wanted to see.
Hearing this, Wei Dongming said calmly: "Even the attitude of 'Black Face Xiao' is very thunderous and there is no rain. When did he become so talkative? I, Bowanghou, don't have such a big face."
"Brother, what you mean is that Qiyang is going to bring down Wu Zhengnan this time. In fact, someone has already paved the road to the expeditionary army headquarters behind his back? But it's not my Wei family's hands?"
Wei Dongming nodded, and said: "It's possible, but whether Qiyang knows it or not is in between." He smiled coldly and said, "Otherwise, why Zhang Youheng was so eager to get rid of the accident after the accident? If he had known about Yuanzheng With the ambiguous attitude of the Army Headquarters, it won’t just let it go.”
Wei Bainian frowned and said, "This person is too aggressive."
"It doesn't matter. Although his surname is Zhang, he is not a member of the Zhang Clan. It is not wrong to be cautious in doing things. We should use him less in the future." Wei Dongming didn't care much about the withdrawal of the military police inspector midway, and only asked, "You How about this friend of Qiyang?".
"A good knife, but difficult to handle."
Wei Dongming was silent for a while this time before he said, "There is someone behind him."
Wei Bainian also agreed, Qianye doesn't look like someone who can plan and appease Xiao Lingshi anyway.
At this time, in Qianye's small courtyard, Wei Potian yelled at Ah Qi and Ah Jiu who were welcoming them 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 poured a drop of homemade stimulant into each.
Wei Potian snatched a bottle with his hand, raised his neck and drank half of it in one gulp, then put the bottle heavily on the table, and said bitterly: "You said, I promised so many benefits, why is that guy like that? Refuse to stay? Isn't his grandma trying to embarrass me?"
"Which guy?"
"Who else is there, Uncle Liutang? To be able to take over this division commander, not only must he be a general, but he must also understand military affairs. Right now, he is the only one in the family who can afford it." Wei Potian couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this point. 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. Naturally, the negotiation failed. As long as there is a second choice, how can he, Young Master Wei, be subjected to such birdishness
Qianye's heart moved slightly, it turned out that Wei Bainian was the Wei family's candidate to take over the Seventh Division's defense area, but he had other intentions because of Wei Hou's actions.
The Wei family probably took this action against Wu Zhengnan as another opportunity for the son to practice in actual combat, so they laid out the overall situation, but Wei Potian had to deal with the details himself. After bumps and bumps, the last hurdle is to find a suitable candidate to reorganize the seventh division.
But even Qianye, an outsider, could see that someone like Wei Bainian stationed in the Yongye mainland defense zone seemed a bit overkill. It seems that Marquis Wei's original intention was to let Wei Potian retreat in the face of difficulties, and let go of this small place early. However, if Wei Potian can persuade Wei Bainian to stay, it would be considered good. At least the Wei family will have an extra base on the Eternal Night Continent, although it is a bit tasteless.
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 grasped the meaning of it somewhat vaguely.
"Why doesn't he want to take over as the commander of the Seventh Division?"
"How do I know! God knows what Uncle Liutang is thinking, if he doesn't intend to stay at all, why bother to come all the way to Heiliu City!" He poured another bottle of wine into his stomach.
Wei Potian had been rambling on for more than half an hour, feeling drunk, he was a little unsteady, so he sighed, called the guards who came over, and left shaking. Listening to Wei Potian's complaints, most of them are still focused on the handling of trivial matters these days. He should have been holding back his stomach for a long time, and just took this opportunity to vent together.
During the whole process, Qianye just listened quietly most of the time. As the son of Bowang Hou, the future helm of the family, this is a responsibility that Wei Potian will face sooner or later, and it will only be more complex and cumbersome than the small Heiliu City. And Wei Potian obviously knew it very well in his heart, so what he needed tonight was just an audience.
After Wei Potian left, Qianye walked into the bedroom, looked at the wooden box by the bed and began to meditate. He can now confirm that the contents inside are prepared for Wei Bainian's matter. Qianye thought for a while, then shook his head and laughed, is this considered "following what he likes"
The night passed quite peacefully. Qianye is a person who does what he thinks, so he went to Wei Bainian's residence early the next morning to ask for a meeting.
When Wei Bainian asked about his intentions, Qianye pondered for a moment, knowing that he was not good at lobbying, so he cut straight to the point: "General Wei should be the best candidate to take over the Seventh Division. But I don't know why he refuses to take over?"
Wei Bainian asked back: "Then why do you think I should take up the post of teacher?"
Qianye was startled, and found that this question was indeed difficult to answer.
"Qian Cheng..." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Qianye shook his head first. With Wei Bainian's qualifications and background, he can't get a full-time division commander in any main army? The prospects are naturally much stronger than the expeditionary forces that are 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 powerful people of the Great Qin Empire. Many warrior-level powerhouses have overcome obstacles all the way, and the war zone where Heiliu City is located is about to usher in a battle with the dark race, which may attract those who want to become stronger.
Wei Bainian smiled, and said with self-deprecation: "I know my aptitude in my heart, and I am afraid that there is no possibility to improve my strength. In this case, it is better to live a stable life so that my family can feel at ease."
This moment blocked Qianye's next words. If, as Wei Bainian himself said, if the strength has reached the bottleneck and it is difficult to break through, then most of the considerations will be a relatively stable life, which is also human nature. Especially for the children of these aristocratic families, it is not impossible for them to lose all vigor because they have a lot of concerns from their parents, wives, children, relatives and subordinates. Perhaps the only general in the Wei family who can lead the army is idle now, and there is such a reason behind it.
The living room suddenly fell silent, Wei Bainian's expression was very calm, and there was no sign of impatience.
"But there are tens of thousands of people living in the entire defense zone of these two cities..."
Wei Bainian laughed, and said: "The tens of thousands of people in the Eternal Night Continent are no more important than the people in my Far Eastern province. If you are not here, it is the same if you work in other places." His words are quite polite, For the empire, the native 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, "So, what if this is the reward?"
Wei Bainian's eyes flickered slightly, then he laughed and said, "You must also know that Young Master Qiyang actually promised me a lot of conditions."
Wei Bainian could already see that Qianye's manner of holding things was a little nervous and unnatural, and his words were very jerky, obviously it was the first time he did such a thing. But he didn't break it, he just held the wooden box in his hand and played with it, not in a hurry to open it, and looked at Qianye with interest.
Qianye answered very frankly, "Potian didn't tell me the details, but he did say that he offered you a good deal, but you didn't agree."
"Then I'm curious, what did your master bring me." Wei Bainian smiled, and undid the jade buckle that sealed it. As soon as the box cover was pushed open, a corner of a smaller and more delicate wooden box was exposed. From this angle, it can be seen that there is a stamped seal on the top of the box inside.
As soon as Wei Bainian's eyes touched the seal, his expression changed immediately, his chest heaved sharply, his hand that was holding the wooden box casually trembled a little, he had to close the lid of the box, and then put it back on the table.
He raised his head and looked at Qianye, showing a wry smile and said, "What a loss of composure! It's...it's this kind of thing!"
Wei Bainian took a deep breath, and slowly opened the wooden box again. The lid of the box is completely open, revealing a palm-sized exquisite black lacquer box inside. There is a striking and ancient seal on the box surface, and every stroke reveals the vicissitudes of time.
Qianye barely recognized the ancient character "吉" on the seal because he had read the item manual of this item.
