The sunset was picturesque, and the golden afterglow filled the lawn of Qu's backyard, which looked particularly warm.
Dinner was arranged in the backyard, and the elegant white long table was moved to the lawn. Qu Xiaoqing undoubtedly knew Ding Meng well and knew that this guy liked to eat very much, so this table was also extra large.
How big is it? There are about seventy or eighty kinds of dishes on it. There are many small square tables around the dining table. There are twenty or thirty kinds of drinks on them. In the center of the dining table is a copper tripod.
There is a pot of red meat stewed in such a big earthen pot, and the aroma is enough to arouse anyone's appetite.
Ding Meng smiled happily: "Eat the food on this table, and don't ask for my help. Even if I help you with ten things, you should do it."
Qu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "You sound like you haven't eaten for many years. Didn't your sisters-in-law take good care of you?"
Ding Meng rubbed his hands: "It's not like you don't know. I've been wandering around in outer space and rarely have a good meal. Your sisters-in-law live in the Federation every day and are much happier than me...
…”
Qu Xiaoqing couldn't help but smile: "Then you can have a great meal today."
At this time, Qu Yang led a group of people in from the backyard gate. These people were obviously soldiers, because they were wearing straight military uniforms of the Nuo Star Empire, and the military ranks on the epaulettes were not low.
Qu Xiaoqing seemed very happy: "Here we come!"
Qu Shangqing and his wife have already greeted them. It seems that both parties are familiar with each other. This is not the first time for this group of people to visit Qu's house.
After some greetings, everyone came to the dining table. The leader, a middle-aged officer with a heroic appearance and a majestic temperament, suddenly laughed: "Old Qu, Xiaoqing, I was wondering why you prepared so much today. It turns out that a distinguished guest has arrived.
, you are a bit biased, hahaha..."
Qu Xiaoqing said sweetly: "Uncle Lei, aren't you thinking about Ding Meng? Ding Meng just happened to be back this time."
The officer stepped forward and reached out to Ding Meng: "Young man, do you still remember me?"
Ding Meng immediately shook hands and bowed his head proactively: "Hello, sir!"
The officer waved his hand: "Hey, please don't call me "sir" or "sir" in private to cause trouble. You and Xiaoqing are classmates. If you don't mind, just call me Lao Lei."
This officer Ding Meng was deeply impressed. When he escaped from the Black Gold Base, he was chased by Baines and others with no way to escape. It was Major Lei Zhan, the commander of the cruise fleet numbered nx3ddt51, who saved him and Xin Jie.
life.
Ding Meng smiled and said: "Anyway, thank you. If you hadn't discovered us in time, Brother Jie and I would have died in the TCP Nebula."
Lei Zhan waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "That's your own fault. When we were doing the search and rescue, I knew that you two boys would definitely achieve great things in the future. I never thought that in just over ten years, you would actually grow up to this level.
It’s really gratifying that we’ve reached this point, come on, come on, don’t say anything else tonight, be sure to have a good drink.”
Ding Meng felt it slightly. The strength of Major Lei Zhan was that of a senior warrior with both thermal and rigid bodies. His foundation was extremely deep and solid. In other words, ordinary junior warriors may not be his opponents. Of course, as a cruiser
The commander of the fleet is not only capable of this, he also has other talents that others certainly do not possess.
Behind Lei Zhan, a spirited old man also walked up and said with a smile: "Ding Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time, I finally see you."
Ding Meng looked up and immediately lowered his head respectfully: "Mr. Feng."
Feng Rufei smiled happily: "It's really rare that you still remember me, old man."
The mission to return to the Black Gold Base was originally issued by Mr. Feng. Ding Meng was also sincerely grateful to this respected military boss. It was because of that return to the Dead Star that Xiao Ai was released and reunited with Xiao Ai.
Reunion.
I remember that Ding Meng secretly peeped at Mr. Feng and was rebounded, but today he could see Mr. Feng's strength at a glance. He is a junior warrior saint of the rigid system with profound knowledge. He also practices two telekinesis systems, the illusion system and the kinetic energy system. No wonder
Ding Meng, who was only a warrior at the beginning, encountered an overwhelming backlash when he peeped into the family.
Of course, the military ranks of the empire are not equivalent to their strength. Lei Zhan is a major, Mr. Feng is a colonel, and Qu Xiaoqing is a major general. The main reason is that they are in different fields, and the cruise fleet and the frontline combat fleet are not the same.
Quite frankly, Qu Xiaoqing's power is much greater in terms of command scale and operational authority.
Mr. Feng was not interested in promotion in the military ranks. He was mainly responsible for dealing with various difficult and complicated problems in the imperial military. His achievements were more than those of Qu Xiaoqing, so everyone in the Qu family maintained absolute respect for Mr. Feng.
In addition to Mr. Feng and Lei Zhan, there is also a young officer with a stern face and handsome appearance, whose military rank is also a major, and the rest are the entourage.
A group of people were seated quickly. Because there were so many people, Ding Meng was embarrassed to be "whispering", but Mr. Feng was quite emotional: "In this era, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Back then, Ding Meng was only a junior soldier on the space station. Xiao
Qing is also a new recruit. Now Ding Meng has grown up vigorously and Xiao Qing has become the commander of the fleet. I think we should retire in a few years."
"That's natural!" Lei Zhan raised his wine glass, "The world is dominated by young people now. Come on, let's finally get together. How about we go one by one?"
Ding Meng noticed that although the young officer looked serious, the corner of his eye was actually constantly switching between Qu Xiaoqing's body and himself.
With Ding Meng's current eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this was most likely Qu Xiaoqing's suitor, but there was a faint hint of hostility in the way the other party glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
Qu Xiaoqing obviously noticed it and took the initiative to raise his glass: "Roger, let me introduce you. This is Ding Meng. He was my classmate when I was studying at Christine Academy. He was also my sparring partner. This
This is my first trip back to my hometown in TT12, and I took this opportunity to get together."
Qu Xiaoqing turned around and smiled again: "Ding Meng, this Roger is my colleague and now works in the Special Operations Department of the Imperial Military."
Out of politeness, Ding Meng took the initiative to raise his glass: "Hello, Roger!"
Unexpectedly, Roger didn't raise his hand and spoke coldly: "I have seen your name. On the latest wanted order issued by the Shenghui Federation, you seem to be a Category A wanted criminal by the Federation."
He fully expected that this message would surprise everyone, but everyone looked calm.
Lei Zhan said carelessly: "Actually, this is a good thing."
Now it was Roger's turn to be stunned: "Uncle Lei, how can this be considered a good thing?"
Lei Zhan said with a meaningful smile: "Can you become a Class A wanted criminal in the Federation without any skills? This actually proves the merits of Brother Dinmon."
He took great pains to hint that you really can't underestimate the young man in front of you. I brought you here today to give you a chance to make a good friend of this young talent. You should stop putting on your usual airs of being a second-generation official.
Qu Xiaoqing smiled and explained: "Ding Meng, Roger's father was a general in our empire's military at that time. If you have a permission order from the Special Operations Department, you will save a lot of trouble by investigating many things."
She was putting in a good word for both parties, not only clarifying Roger's identity, but also hinting that Din Meng was not simple and wanted to participate in the investigation of the Reborn Warriors.
Roger is definitely not a fool. Uncle Lei, who has always thought about himself, must have deep meaning when he speaks like this. However, he is still very hostile to Ding Meng. This kid is in rags. I wonder what Miss Qu likes about him?
Roger then spoke meaningfully: "Hello, Ding Meng, I don't know what your merits are? About which aspect? I would like to see you."
Ding Meng couldn't help but smile. This young man was about the same age as him. He was not convinced. Ding Meng glanced at him slightly and found that Roger was actually quite good. He was actually an intermediate general at this age among the Source Energy users.
It is quite rare to be able to reach this level, almost rare.
Ding Meng smiled and said: "I don't dare. I only have trivial skills and can't reach the level of elegance."
Roger didn't answer, just stared at the dishes on the table.
Suddenly, dozens of plates flew up out of thin air, stabilized in the air, and then quickly arranged and combined, spinning in circles like a juggling act. After spinning a few times, they returned to their original shape and fell back to the table. Not even a drop of soup was left.
Didn't spill.
Of course, his operation can only open the eyes of Xing Yi, Qu Shangqing and his wife, because Xing Yi is weaker and Mrs. Qu Shangqing is an ordinary person.
"Wow, it's really amazing. Is it telekinesis?" Xingyi has always been obsessed with telekinesis.
"It's embarrassing!" Roger smiled slightly and turned to look at Qu Xiaoqing, "Is this my saving grace?"
Qu Xiaoqing smiled and said: "You are making great progress. You didn't reach this level two months ago."
After receiving Qu Xiaoqing's affirmation, Roger's stern face immediately burst into a sunny smile.
Lei Zhan turned around and said hesitantly: "Mr. Feng, look..."
Feng Rufei nodded and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, young people are a little ambitious and like to show off what they have learned."
These words made Roger unhappy immediately, but he did not dare to lose his temper with this respected senior: "Mr. Feng, this is the martial arts of the 'True Sight' category you mentioned before, right?"
Feng Rufei nodded: "Yes, this type of true vision requires the support of mind power, and you use it very well."
Roger then turned his attention to Ding Meng: "I just don't know if Xiaoqing's classmates have such merits? Of course, I believe that people who can sit at the same table with Xiaoqing should have some tricks on their hands, otherwise they will
Shouldn't be served."
He just didn't say it clearly: I will only admit you if you can do it again, otherwise you will just sit around and play around, and you are not qualified to eat at the same table with me.
Ding Meng suddenly smiled, his expression was like seeing a child playing house, and he was still feeling smug about it.
"Why are you laughing?" Roger was a little dissatisfied.
Ding Meng smiled and said: "Excuse me, Gui Geng?"
Qu Xiaoqing took the initiative to answer for Roger: "Ding Meng, you are actually about the same age. Calculating, you should be one year older than Roger."
Ding Meng nodded: "At the age of 33, it is indeed rare for you to be able to develop kinetic telekinesis..."
A proud smile appeared on Roger's lips: "I didn't expect you to actually understand telekinesis!"
"It's just..." Ding Meng's tone changed again, "There are too many impurities in your body, which hinders the smooth operation of the source power between the origins, which in turn affects the brain. Therefore, your kinetic telekinesis is not pure. I
If you guessed it right, you have no problem controlling objects through the air with your telekinesis, but if you want to truly control the enemy through the air, if you encounter an opponent above the combat master level, you have no chance at all."
