Chapter 1056 Hongmen cold banquet, open and secret struggle
Chapter 1056 A cold banquet at Hongmen, overt and covert fighting
At this time, Suzaku also arrived carrying the cauldron.
Everyone in the Zhuge family was shocked. How could a beautiful woman like Zhuque, who seemed so weak, have such terrifying strange powers?
What they don't know is that among the ten generals of the [Dragon Temple], Suzaku is not the strongest.
But in terms of strength alone, no one can match it!
Suzaku also threw the giant cauldron back again.
"Dragon Lord!"
Whoosh~~~
The giant cauldron shot back again like a toy.
Chen Qi said indifferently, "What can be moved about this cauldron?"
After saying that, he raised his right foot lightly and pointed it towards the void.
when!
The Wanjin Cauldron seemed to have received such a violent impact that it was thrown back at a speed several times its original speed.
Rumble~~~
The tripod collided with the mountain gate of the Zhuge family, making an earth-shattering sound.
This stone gate, which has a long history and has hosted countless influential people, immediately fell apart and was scattered into countless gravel particles.
After finishing all this, Chen Qi slowly lit a cigarette for himself.
While the clouds and mist were rising, he said to Murong Qingxue beside him, "Let's go in."
Several guards from the Zhuge family, who were already trembling with fear, huddled together.
He watched helplessly as Chen Qi and the others passed by him, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.
The task given to them by the above was to embarrass Chen Qi and the others before they joined the clan, in order to demonstrate the superiority of the clan.
But the strength of these people in front of me is more terrifying than the last.
Just one person can crush them into pieces.
Let me ask, where did they get the courage to dare to touch each other's troubles again?
After entering the mountain gate, walk along a wide avenue.
Chen Qi activated his spiritual consciousness and clearly sensed that the few spiritual thoughts that had been monitoring them had withdrawn.
Presumably, those people were also shocked by the performance of Chen Qi and others just now.
As Zhuque said, Chen Qi has a good temper.
But no matter how good-tempered a person is, he still has a "temper" after all.
This Zhuge family challenged the limit of his endurance again and again.
Of course, Chen Qi would not continue to be patient and beat him appropriately, hoping that the other party would wake up soon and turn around.
They didn't go far when they saw a team that looked like senior members of the Zhuge family walking over quickly.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a decent priesthood, and beside him were Zhuge Linglong and Zhuge Junru.
Seeing Chen Qi's arrival, the middle-aged man smiled warmly and stepped forward to greet him.
"Oh, this must be Chen Qi, Governor Chen, right?
Some people miss you and welcome them from afar, and some people miss you and welcome you from afar!"
Chen Qi looked at the other person and said, "You are..."
Zhuge Junru took the initiative to introduce Chen Qi, "This is the current head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Leiyin."
Chen Qipi smiled but said, "It turns out he is the head of the Zhuge family. I have admired his name for a long time."
"The head of the Zhuge family is so busy that he still found time to meet Chen in person. Chen is really honored."
Of course this is said in irony.
In order to meet the leader of the Zhuge family, this journey has been full of twists and turns.
First, he came all the way, only to be left waiting for three days. Then he walked a long way to the mountain gate, only to be stopped again. Only by carrying the cauldron can he be qualified to enter?
Chen Qi didn't believe it. Zhuge Leiyin didn't know anything about this?
Zhuge Leiyin naturally understood the meaning of Chen Qi's words, but he only moved his eyebrows slightly and deliberately pretended not to understand.
"Governor Chen has worked hard all the way. Our family has specially prepared wine and food to entertain you. Please come inside."
Chen Qi nodded slightly and took the lead to leave, followed closely by Suzaku and Murong Qingxue.
After Chen Qi and others walked away, Zhuge Leiyin said goodbye to his previous smile and whispered to Zhuge Junru beside him, "Act as planned!"
"yes!"
Then, Zhuge Junru also walked away quickly.
Seeing such a scene, Zhuge Linglong pursed her red lips and wondered what she was thinking.
Arriving at a spacious courtyard, several banquet tables had already been set up here.
Under the reception of the Zhuge family, Chen Qi and others sat down in the middle.
Having had previous experiences, Chen Qi already had some understanding of the Zhuge family.
This family has always regarded itself as a reclusive family, arrogant and considers itself superior to others.
But they always like to do some little tricks to show their power.
Therefore, after sitting down, Chen Qi began to look around to see what tricks the other party wanted to play.
I have to say that this banquet was indeed treated like a distinguished guest.
The spacious and luxurious house is magnificent and magnificent, surrounded by running water with crystal clear water.
There is also a stage not far away, where dancers can be seen singing and dancing.
At this time, Zhuge Leiyin picked up the wine glass.
"Come on, Governor Chen, you and I have no acquaintance at all, but as the saying goes, we don't know each other without fighting. With this glass of wine, how about we wipe out all the grievances we had in the past?"
Chen Qi smiled for a moment and said, "Chen has no intention of having any grudges with the nobles. Since the head of the Zhuge family has said so, Chen should accept the hospitality."
"Okay, do it!"
The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
While the maid was pouring the wine, Zhuge Leiyin took the initiative and said, "Governor Chen, you are a hero among people. You can achieve such amazing achievements at such a young age. I admire you!"
"It's such an honor to be able to make friends with you!"
It is common to see things rise first and then suppress.
Chen Qi remained calm and waited for the next sentence.
Zhuge Leiyin continued, "However, I have a merciless request."
"tell me the story."
Zhuge Leiyin glanced at Murong Qingxue who was beside Chen Qi, "My family and the Murong family actually have an extraordinary connection.
I have been friends with Murong Haoying for many years, and I deeply regret the death of Mr. Murong Haoying."
"Today, only Murong Qingxue is left in the Murong family, which is really pitiful."
"So, I would like to ask Governor Chen to entrust Murong Qingxue to our Zhuge family and let us take care of her."
"I wonder, what does Governor Chen want?"
Chen Qi's eyebrows moved slightly and he sneered inwardly.
This Zhuge Leiyin just fell in love with the Murong family bloodline in Murong Qingxue, but he said it so grandly?
However, Chen Qi remained calm, "But when Murong Haoying was dying, she entrusted Miss Murong to me. If I hand them over to you, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?"
Zhuge Leiyin smiled and replied, "That's wrong. I have a close relationship with Murong Haoying. His affairs are my affairs."
"If you leave Murong Qingxue to me, I will definitely take care of you and take good care of her!"
Chen Qi couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and take a sip, "Chen can't make the decision in this matter, it still depends on Miss Murong's wishes."
When Zhuge Leiyin heard this, he smiled warmly and asked Murong Qingxue.
"Qingxue, you definitely don't know about my friendship with your grandfather.
From now on, if you let me take care of you, it will be as if your grandfather has a spirit in heaven, and you will definitely feel at ease. What do you mean?"
Murong Qingxue glanced at Zhuge Leiyin timidly.
In her impression, when they first stayed in the Zhuge family, Zhuge Leiyin did have a friendship with his grandfather Murong Haoying.
However, that kind of friendship is based on the interests of both parties.
Moreover, the Zhuge family has always wanted to take her as their own, and Murong Qingxue also knew it.
