Kong Ren was different from the previous guests. The future Duke Wen Guo was the highest-status among Ding Kui's peers. It was normal for Ding Kui to receive him in the most special way.?? ? ? ? w?w?w?

"Brother Kong Ren, your family is going to put my father on the fire and roast him. We can't bear such kindness." Ding Kui didn't understand Kong Ren, so he simply said it bluntly.
"Actually, the meaning of our ancestors is very simple. He just wants the Eighth Army to regain its former glory and drive the enemy out of Nanzhao Prefecture as soon as possible. My family's inheritance can clearly know what the military spirit of the Eighth Army is. Mr. Jiang is in charge of the army.
The appearance is really not suitable. He and Uncle Ding are relatives. I think they can talk clearly and there will be no contradictions or conflicts." Seeing that there was no one around, Kong Ren explained to Ding Kui in detail.
The Kong family had no intention of targeting the Ding family and Jiang Xi. Later, they felt that Kong Shu's actions might cause misunderstandings, so they took the opportunity of Ding Kui's coming-of-age ceremony to send Kong Ren over to explain. By lowering the level to the younger generation for negotiation, both
Handling this matter in a low-key manner can maintain the Duke's face in front of the Marquis.
"Wenguo County is far away from the battlefield. Even if the city is lost, it will not affect it. Are you a little too anxious?" Ding Kui lacked information about Nanzhao Prefecture and did not believe Kong Ren so easily. He wanted to know more before making any decisions.
judge.
"You don't know where you are in the inner world away from the war. Once the enemy comes, there will be nothing. The Kong family has donated a lot of manpower and material resources to the front line, and has even used its reserves for many years. We must cut off even a trace of
We must not let Wenguo County be threatened." Kong Ren knew that most people in the mainland had the same idea as Ding Kui.
"War is really terrible. After the smoke, there are ruins. It is a destruction for living things. Well, I can understand your feelings." Although Ding Kui has not experienced it personally, he has seen the scenes of war.
The aristocratic war in the Gu Yuan Empire was nothing compared to the war between countries.
"The kingdom needs people who can truly defend the country and does not want them to be persecuted by power struggles. The Kong family believes that the Ding family is loyal to Shaodian Kingdom." Kong Ren's words are the greatest goodwill that the Kong family can release.
"The ancestral precepts of the Ding family have never changed, and as descendants, we never dare to forget them. We are grateful to everyone who trusts the Ding family." Ding Kui responded to Kong Ren seriously.
"Haha, you said I should come or not." Kong Ren felt much more relaxed after completing the task.
"Hahaha, although we have been rivals, it was just a competition. The heir of Wen Guogong came to congratulate me. It is really a dream. It should come! This time our family has been pushed to the forefront. Many things need to be treated with caution. If we don't pay attention, good things will happen.
It turns out to be a bad thing, I hope Brother Kong can understand."
"Understand, understand, it is more difficult for you than for me. Strictly speaking, you are not yet a minor." Kong Ren originally had no ill intentions towards Ding Kui, but this time he came with the intention of making friends.
Ding Kui's strength is obvious to all, and his power has increased even more after marrying Long Yan. Generally speaking, the benefits of befriending Kong Ren outweigh the disadvantages. This decision is supported by the elders in the family.
The two of them actually ran around the "Poison Mist Canyon" and circled around it. This unique canyon is the only one in Shaodian Country, so it's still worth a look when you get there.
The last group of distinguished guests to visit Xiaxi Town is on the eve of Ding Kui's birthday. Not only the Ding family and his son are going to greet him outside the town, but Jiang Li is also going to greet him. Shaodianjian, the king of Zhongwang County, and Longdang, the Duke of Weiguo, are coordinating
Some officials from Zhoucheng came to Xiaxi Town together.
Fujishun, Lei Ge and Lu Ji were qualified to welcome this group of luxurious guests thanks to their status as landowners. The other nobles were very jealous but could only watch from the sidelines, hoping that the three bosses walking at the front would glance at them.
, have noticed their own existence.
It makes sense that these people came at the last moment. When they appear, they are bound to overwhelm the spotlight. The protagonist Ding Kui is completely reduced to a supporting role. He can only pour tea and water beside him without even a seat; the owner of the Ding family, Ding Qi, is just a supporting character.
I am at the bottom of the table. I have the right to answer other people's questions, but I have no right to take the initiative to join the topic.
"Where is Jiang Tong? He won't show up this time, right?" Long Dang asked after chatting for a while.
Shaodianjian actually wanted to know where this legendary knight was, but he didn't have the right time to ask Long Dang, who was a colleague in the Senate.
"Father will definitely come. As for when he showed up and he didn't tell us to come down, it's not convenient for us to ask him." Jiang Li had known this question for a long time.
"Haha, the legendary knight is just different. I have never seen him put on airs like this for many years of working with the Senate. It makes sense not to classify people of that level into the secular world. He and we are no longer on the same level.
I'm here." Long Dang sighed and was envious at the same time. I'm afraid only he himself could fully understand the feeling.
"It would be great if Lord Jiang Tong can show up, so that we can have a glimpse of the legendary knight. I think you will be stationed in Zhongwangzhou in the future, right?" Shao Dianjian's focus was at the end.
A seventh-level combatant is in Shaodianjian's jurisdiction. Shaodianjian must have people closely monitor the area where he may exist. Once there are signs of being promoted to eighth level, Shaodianjian must report to the clan as soon as possible.
Government report.
"Yes, my father will live in Anguo County forever. This is also in line with the Jiang family's practice." Jiang Li responded with an official-like attitude.
If you want to know whether a seventh-level combatant is in a certain place, you may only know if a seventh-level combatant or above observes him. Others are not qualified to see him to confirm whether he is there.
All families will say that their guardians are in their hometown, but only a few people know whether they are there, and no one will honestly tell the true whereabouts of their guardians.
Seventh-level combatants should remain mysterious. This can reduce the interference to their own cultivation, and can also create an invisible deterrent force and provide a protective umbrella for their families.
Xuanyuan Huang, the director of the Qizhong Branch, also came to Xiaxi Town. Hearing that President Jiang Tong was waiting in Anguo County, he quickly said: "I hope Mr. Jiang Tong can come to the Qizhong Branch often when he has time. With his guidance, he will definitely be able to make it happen."
The strength of the Qizhong branch has reached a new level."
"Haha, I will convey Minister Xuanyuan's wishes to your father, but I don't guarantee that your father will agree." Jiang Li said with a smile.
There are five families in Zhongwangzhou, and it is no surprise that the five families all have legendary knights. Some families even have more than one. There has been no one who would come to the Cavalry Branch to give guidance to the younger generations in the past hundred years. Xuanyuan Huang's hope may be long.
Failed.
Shao Dianjian, Xuanyuan Huang and others came to Xiaxi Town firstly to give face to the Jiang family and the Long family, and secondly to inquire about Jiang Tong's situation. As for Ding Kui's adult ceremony and marriage, they were not important at all.
They just have to go through the motions.
The Ding family's reception ended quickly. The time of important people is very precious, and their private communication is more important.
Ding Kui went back to his room to rest early. Tomorrow will be the busiest day in his memory.
On June 5, 4873, at about four o'clock in the morning, Ding Kui was woken up by Jiang Shunchuan. With the help of two palace ladies, he finished washing himself, put on a white silk robe, and had long black hair on his head.
Tie up into a bun.
Ding Kun opened the way with a lantern and led Ding Kui to the ancestral hall of the old house, where a serious-looking Ding Qi was already waiting.
The Ding family father and son kowtowed to their ancestors' tablets and offered incense according to strict procedures. Ding Qi informed his ancestors that his son Ding Kui had grown up, and Ding Kui thanked each ancestor for their care and blessing.
The first step of Ding Kui's coming-of-age ceremony, "ancestor worship," lasted nearly four hours. It would be difficult for people with poor physical conditions to complete it in one breath without taking a break.
As long as you are a nobleman who has been inherited from the founding period of Shaodian Kingdom, the adult ceremony of "ancestor worship" will take so long. You must know that just reciting the names of ancestors takes a lot of time.
After "ancestral worship", Ding Kui had time to have breakfast and take a rest. Ding Kun helped call Ao Yu, the main person who wanted to complete another task. Others could not easily call Ao Yu, so they had to squeeze out time.
The only thing he found was Ding Kun, but Ao Yu didn't dare to show off in front of Ding Kun.
Ding Kui closed the door tightly and turned around and said: "Hurry up and change the clothes you are wearing. Just use the clothes you wore last time when you went to Weiguo County. You have to pick up my newlywed bride."
"Why is that woman so annoying? I had to pick her up twice. You have to be careful, don't kill her in one go. I took the time to pick her up twice." Ao Yu smiled obscenely.
Let me choke you. You think I am just like you, a giant monster that is a hundred meters long. Down there, uh, that thing can kill people.
Ding Kui almost choked to death, "I'm only eighteen years old, okay?" He was so angry that he even spoke English, "The most important thing is that I can't turn into my true form yet. It's not as exaggerated as you think."
"What k? Your Kirin's reproductive capacity should be stronger than that of dragons. According to our standards, you are less than two years old and you can actually mate." Ao Yu unconsciously took a few more glances at Ding Kui's private parts.
"Okay, don't discuss these useless things. You must pay attention. Today, there will be experts coming to my house. It will not be a problem to kill you now, so you must keep a low profile, a low profile, and a low profile." This is what Ding Kui wants.
Special emphasis.
Ao Yu shrank his neck, "I really believe that you have the possibility to help me break the seal. You are living in such a dangerous environment at such a young age, and you haven't been killed yet. When you grow up, you may be able to compete with me."
Master, side by side."
"It's good to know. If you help me more now, I will definitely help you unlock the seal in the future." Ding Kui kept mouthing and stuffed another piece of pastry into his mouth.
Ao Yu's disguise was just a matter of blowing his breath. After Ding Kui finished admonishing him, he left the room and rushed to Black Earth City with a new wedding team.
This time, the groom does not need to come forward to welcome the bride. Only the groomsmen and some of the groom's close friends and some juniors are required to welcome the bride.
After Ding Kui had breakfast, he had to go through the second step of the coming-of-age ceremony, which was to crown him.
