Chapter 126: Garrisoning Qingfeng City (1/2)
General Wang, whose full name was Wang Yongbo, broke through to become an innate expert five years ago. He was less than 30 years old this year, so he could be regarded as a young innate master.
General Xu mentioned to him that Wang Yongbo had a family background, and originally did not hold a military position in the Purple Thorn Legion, but once he was transferred, he was at the peak of the True Origin Realm and served as the commander of the Ninth Army.
However, because there were no major wars in the Southern Cloud Kingdom during his tenure as commander, and he himself had no notable battle records, even though he was the general of the Purple Thorn Legion, he was still a false position with little real power in his hands.
Ten days later, Shiqi set out with more than five thousand men. The military ministry considered that the Sixth Army had too many new recruits, and the Black Blood Kingdom’s army had not appeared in the vicinity of Qingfeng City so far, so it should not be the focus of the fight, so they were allowed to prepare for a few more days.
Shiqi informed Wang Yongbo to set off, and Wang Yongbo was a bit arrogant, saying that he would let them go first and he would arrive soon.
Shiqi had no complaints, innate masters were just amazing! They could fly. He didnot know when he can fly!
When he came to Qingfeng City and saw his old acquaintance Jiang Jiankai again, Jiang Jiankai acted more enthusiastically.
“Older brother, it’s only been a few days since I’ve seen you, and you’ve been promoted from Thousand Man Commander to Commander of the Purple Thorn Legion, it’s simply too scary!”
“Yeah, not bad!” Shiqi modestly said.
His own family knew his own affairs, Shiqi knew clearly that besides his own superior strength, catching a good opportunity and meeting someone who appreciated him was also the reason why he could be promoted so quickly.
“This is our city lord Zhao of Qingfeng City, the city lord’s lord, this is older brother Chen Pengfei of the Purple Thorn Legion, don’t look at older brother Chen’s young age, he is probably one of the top young geniuses in our Southern Cloud Kingdom!”
Zhao Wei, the city lord of Qingfeng City, A fat man in his fifties who was well maintained and looks fat.
The last time when Shiqi and his troops were defeated and fled back to Qingfeng City, the City Lord of Qingfeng City happened to go to Purple Thorn City in those days, so this was the first time Shiqi met City Lord Zhao.
City Lord Zhao said, “I’ve heard of Commander Chen’s reputation for a long time, and now I’ve finally met him in person.”
“The city lord has flattered me!” As Shiqi spoke, he also moved his facial muscles, the mask was indeed well worn.
“Let’s go, brother I’ll receive you here.”
Shiqi did not refuse, he still needed to work with the two for some time in the future, and the defense of Qingfeng City required both sides to work together.
The two powerful figures of Qingfeng City were both very good at socializing, and Shiqi was also more cooperative, and the atmosphere of the banquet inside the City Lord’s residence was very cordial.
From time to time, there were maids pouring wine for Shiqi. Pouring wine was a very normal thing, but what concerned Shiqi was the maid who poured wine.
The waitress was a little too beautiful!
Shiqi had seen a lot of women … the vast majority of these women eventually turned into corpses.
Among the living women, apart from Lan Yanlin, only Liang Anyin from the Sixth Chamber of Commerce could give him some impression. The maid serving him was the second stranger, or girl, who could impress him.
The maid of honor was about sixteen or Shiqi years old, wearing a cyan gauze. She was petite and light, with a small palm-sized face, permeated with innocence and purity, she had a pair of big beautiful eyes that seemed to speak, and when she walked around, her feet jumped slightly.
Every time she poured wine for Shiqi, she would secretly look at Shiqi with curiosity and reverence in her eyes. All these, Shiqi knew clearly, and he must admit that he was a little shy …… and a little proud to be so peeked at by such a young girl.
A very wonderful feeling!
Shiqi’s reaction was completely in line with the normal psychological state of the vast majority of men. No matter how great he was, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy.
From the Lan Family to the army, although he was used to seeing life and death, he was still a young man with regard to feelings and the opposite sex. However, Shiqi belonged to a person with a firm mind, and his face remained unchanged.
