Zhao Pan was smart and Qi Feihong's third sister. After becoming the general manager of the Imperial Palace, she sincerely helped Qi Feihong manage the Imperial Palace. Within a few days, she was unanimously recognized by everyone. Everyone praised Qi Feihong for knowing people and making good use of them, and they all showed their favor to Zhao Pan, hoping to gain Qi Feihong's recognition through Zhao Pan.
Qi Feihong and Zhao Pan, who knew everyone's thoughts, laughed off this. They were not old-fashioned people. They would definitely make the best use of useful talents, and they would definitely not entrust important responsibilities to useless people who could only flatter others. .
The ten-day deadline came in an instant, and Li Zheng sent someone to deliver the battle report. He captured twenty of Lu Hao's cities in ten days, including Lu Hao's capital Feihu City. Li Zheng's army was overwhelming and encountered little effective resistance, and his own losses were also very small.
Li Zheng forced Lu Hao to give up his plan to attack Feixianmen, and the army retreated to protect the existing territory, successfully completing the task assigned by Qi Feihong.
At this time, Shangqing Sanhe and Chi Yan secretly took Dongfang Qing and others back to Qilin City and quietly completed the tasks assigned by Qi Feihong without anyone being harmed.
Qi Feihong personally received Dongfang Qing and other members of the Dongfang family, as well as several other survivors of the cultivating sects or families brought back by the Shangqing Sanren, as well as the Feixian sect's envoys.
What surprised and surprised Qi Feihong was that the envoys of Feixianmen turned out to be Ma Yuan and Zhou Bingqian, a couple with whom he had a close relationship. Ma Yuan, Zhou Bingqian and Qi Feihong had not seen each other for many years, so it was natural for them to exchange greetings when they met.
Qi Feihong cleverly solved the danger of Feixianmen, captured twenty cities, and formed an alliance with Feixianmen. He was full of joy. Now that he saw Dongfang Qing, Ma Yuan, Zhou Bingqian and others again, he was even more overjoyed and ordered a banquet, one to celebrate Li Zheng and others, and the other to entertain Dongfang Qing and others.
Qi Feihong personally accompanied them, drinking and talking. The three ladies, Tian Sizi, Tian Feifei and Qian Zhirou, also attended in person to accompany them, inviting everyone to have a drink, and the Imperial Palace was bustling with activity.
Good wine, delicious food, laughter, what a celebration party. Qi Feihong stood up and personally poured wine for Ma Yuan and Zhou Bingqian. He said with a smile: "You two seniors are always well? Long time no see. Feihong neglects to greet you. Please don't take offense to the two seniors."
Ma Yuan, who was very happy, patted Qi Feihong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What did Feihong say? We all know that you have experienced a lot over the years, and we also know that you are very busy. It's just a lack of greetings, so don't take it to heart. "
Zhao Hai reminded Ma Yuan in a low voice: "Dignified guests are not allowed to address the Lord by his first name, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Ma Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Yes, yes, I was negligent. Feihong is now the leader of the Qilin Kingdom and holds a high position of power. We should also respect him as the 'Lord of the Country'."
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "You two are not from the Qilin Kingdom, but are Feihong's old seniors, so there is no need to be so polite. This time, the two seniors are visiting the Qilin Kingdom in person, but they must stay for a few more days to let Feihong fulfill their friendship as landlords."
Ma Yuan laughed and said: "That's natural. We came here specially to have a good time with you. We won't leave until we stay for ten and a half days."
Qi Feihong said: "Feihong has been helped by seniors several times before, so that we can be in today's situation, so we should entertain seniors well. In this way, inviting seniors to stay in Feihong's palace, so that Feihong can personally serve the two seniors for a few days, can be regarded as repayment." It is my gratitude to my seniors for helping me several times before.”
Ma Yuan shook his head: "That's not possible. Feihong, you are now the lord of the Qilin Kingdom, and you live in the lord's mansion. The lord's mansion is the most important place in the Qilin Kingdom, how can we move in at will? Feihong, you arranged for us to live in Qilin. Just stay in the city, we can come to you at any time."
Qi Feihong said: "Then live in the Yingbin Pavilion under the Imperial Palace near the Imperial Palace. Third sister, arrange the best room and the best maid to serve."
Zhao Pan stood up and said, "I obey. I will make arrangements right now."
Qi Feihong nodded, and when he saw Dongfang Qing and others, he said to Zhao Pan: "Senior Sister Dongfang and their residences have been arranged similarly. We must ensure that they live comfortably and securely."
Zhao Pan said: "I will definitely make arrangements. Please rest assured, Lord."
Qi Feihong smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Third Sister. Third Sister, go and come back quickly. We still have to celebrate Big Brother together."
Zhao Pan smiled slightly, turned and left, and soon came back, pulling Qi Feihong, who was talking to Ma Yuan and others, to toast Li Zheng and celebrate Li Zheng's success. Li Zheng, Qi Feihong and Zhao Pan drank three cups in a row and were very happy. He made great contributions and was personally commended by Qi Feihong, which made others envious.
Everyone came forward to congratulate Li Zheng for his great achievements, and the national preceptor Zhao Hai even proposed in public that Li Zheng should be given more praises. Qi Feihong had already planned it, but he deliberately kept it a secret and said that he would wait until tomorrow morning to announce another decree.
After three drinks, everyone was talking and drinking with people they knew well. Only then did Dongfang Qing have the opportunity to come over and talk to Qi Feihong. She seemed thoughtful, her expression was quite restrained, and her voice was slightly uneasy when she spoke to Qi Feihong.
Qi Feihong saw Dongfang Qing's thoughts, smiled and drank a drink with Dongfang Qing, and then said: "Senior Sister's injury has not recovered yet, so it is better to drink less. If Senior Sister feels that she is not in good health, she can go to rest first. Junior Brother, I will come see you later. Senior sister."
Dongfang Qing didn't expect Qi Feihong to be so polite after becoming the king of the country. After being stunned, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Junior Brother, don't you blame Senior Sister for leaving you when you needed me most? Why do you still want to Help me get through this difficult time?"
When Qi Feihong saw Dongfang Qing saying this in public, he smiled and said: "Senior sister, I have taken good care of my junior brother in the past. Junior brother should naturally be nicer to senior sister. As for what senior sister said, junior brother has long forgotten. Please don’t take it to heart anymore, senior sister. We can just forget about the past."
When Qi Feihong said this, he glanced at the other five Dongfang family members who came to Qilin Kingdom with Dongfang Qing, and said with a smile: "When you come to Qilin Kingdom, you should think that this is the Dongfang family, everything is free, and you must not have any Restricted.”
A young man from the Dongfang family stood up and saluted, and said respectfully: "Thank you so much, Lord, for your rescue. We will never forget it until our death. The Lord and the clan sister are senior brothers, so they are our senior brothers." . We are still young, have short knowledge and lack of experience. If we do something wrong or say the wrong thing, I hope you will forgive me."
Qi Feihong saw this man's extraordinary conversation and asked with a smile: "It's easy to talk, may I ask my junior brother what I call him?"
The man said: "Reporting to the master of the country, senior brother, my name is Dongfang Ding. When my father was still alive, he hoped that he could stabilize the family, so he took the word 'Ding' as his name. Unfortunately, Lu Hao's army suddenly invaded the Dongfang family. , my clan members were killed, but I was completely powerless to stop it.”
Qi Feihong said: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Junior brother, you can rest assured that one day you will avenge your people."
Dongfang Ding said: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your encouragement, and thank you for taking us in. We are willing to do something for the Qilin Kingdom to repay Senior Brother for taking us in."
Qi Feihong became somewhat interested and asked with a smile: "Junior brother, what do you think you can do? If you have any ideas, just tell me. There are no outsiders here."
Dongfang Ding said: "Junior brother is just a cultivator in the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm. I'm afraid he can't do anything else except join the army. I heard that all citizens of Qilin Kingdom must join the army for five years, and junior brother is willing to join the army like everyone else. , do your part to protect Qilin Country."
Dongfang Qing said aside: "Cousin, don't talk nonsense. The rule of Qilin Kingdom is that citizens above Fusion God Realm must join the army for five years. You are only in the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm and are not qualified to join the army yet."
Dongfang Ding said: "Strength and realm are not necessarily in absolute direct proportion. Although I am only in the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm, I am confident that I can beat many immortal cultivators in the early stage of Fusion God Realm. Senior brother, the Lord of the Kingdom, can examine my strength and then decide Are you allowed to join the army?"
Dongfang Qing was stunned, glanced at Qi Feihong, and whispered: "Junior brother, my cousin is indeed very powerful. When he was in the clan, he often competed with the clansmen in the Fusion of God Realm. He won more than he lost..."
Qi Feihong smiled slightly and looked at Dongfang Ding without saying anything, as if he was thinking about this matter.
